    Acceleration of an electron held at 1m from the nucleus of an Uranium atom.

    Thanks! Here, it was an incredibly easy problem.

    Acceleration of an electron held at 1m from the nucleus of an Uranium atom.

    The only other thing I could think of would be Coulomb's law. This is the only problem out of 100 that I just have no clue about. I keep rereading my notes but can't seem to find out what I'm missing on. Thanks for the help though, I appreciate you trying to lead me to the answer.

    Acceleration of an electron held at 1m from the nucleus of an Uranium atom.

    I was thinking the strong nuclear force, but I believe at 1m it is too far for that to have an effect. The only other thing I could think of would be gravity?

    Acceleration of an electron held at 1m from the nucleus of an Uranium atom.

    Homework Statement An electron is held fixed at a distance of 1 m from the nucleus of a uranium atom (Z = 92). If the electron is then released, what is the magnitude of its initial acceleration? Homework Equations I am not sure which kinematic equation that I should use...
