Can someone please help me find the central force and centipetal accleration of this promblem. I JUST DONT GET IT! The question is: The Speed of the hydrogen atom electron travels as a speed approximated 2.45 x 10 ^ 6 m/s. Find the central force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit of a radus 4.68 x 10 ^ -11. Second part of the question is what is the centripetal acceleration of the electron?

F = (K)(q1)(q2)/(r^2)
q1 and q2 are the charge of the electron and proton
K is the electric constant

A = (v^2)/r
You have the velocity and radius, so just put in the numbers.
