An electron and a neutral carbon atom are initially 44 x

Question

Compute each part of given question:

Question: An electron and a neutral carbon atom are initially 4.4 x 10^-6 m apart and there are no other particles in the vicinity. The mass of the electron is m=9.11 x 10^-31 kg. The polarizability of a carbon atom as been measured to be 1.96 x 10^-40 C•m/(N/C). Assume that k= 9 x 10⁹ N•m²/C².

Part A: Calculate the initial magnitude of the acceleration of the electron. Answer in m/s2.

Part B: If the electron and the carbon atom were initially twice as far apart, what would the initial acceleration be? Answer in m/s2.
