Explanation / Answer

Given

   nuclei thorium 234 Th 90 and 4He2


of charges q1 = 90*1.6*10^-19 C, q2 = 2*1.6*10^-19 C


separated by a distance is r= 13*10^-15 m

from coulomb's law


   the force between two charges is F = kQ1*Q2/r^2

  
      
       F = 9*10^9 *90*1.6*10^-19*2*1.6*10^-19/(13*10^-15)^2
      

       F = 245.4 N

fromm


   Newton's second law of motion


   F = ma
   a = F/m
   = 245.4/(6.64*10^-27) m/s2
   =3.69578*10^28 m/s2
