Answer

$ a =7.7 \times 10^{28} m/s^2$

Work Step by Step

Mass of Helium $m_{He} = (4)(1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg)$ $m_{He} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} kg$ According to Newton's Second Law, $F = ma$ and $a = \frac{F}{a} $ Taking from (a), $F = 5.1 \times 10^2 N $ $a = \frac{F}{a} $ $a = \frac{5.1 \times 10^2 N}{6.68 \times 10^{-27} kg} $ $ a =7.7 \times 10^{28} m/s^2$
