Compare the electric and gravitational force between the electron and the proton in a hydrogen atom. The electric charge of the

electron is -1.60x10-19C and the same but positive for the proton. The electron’s mass is 9.11x10-31 kg, while the proton’s mass is 1.67x10-27kg. Assume the distance between them is 5.3x10-11 m.

The gravitational attraction between electron and proton is 10−40 whereas electrostatic force of attraction between a proton and an electron is 10-8.

<h3>What is the gravitational force between electron and proton in a hydrogen atom?</h3>

The gravitational attraction between electron and proton in a hydrogen atom is weaker than the coulomb attraction by a factor of about 10−40 while on the other hand, the electrostatic force of attraction between a proton and an electron in a hydrogen atom is 10- 8 which is 9 times.

The electric charge of the electron and proton are the same i.e. -1.60x10-19C whereas their gravitational force is different due to difference in mass.

So we can conclude that gravitational attraction between electron and proton is 10−40 whereas electrostatic force of attraction between a proton and an electron is 10-8.

How can you prevent static sparks while filling your boat's fuel tank?
dangina [55]
To prevent static sparks that could occur while you fill fuel is that, a person who is filling the tank should remember that the nozzle of the fuel pump hose should always be in connected or in contact to the tank. This will prevent static sparks from happening to the boat that is going to be used and prevent harm to the person using or refilling the fuel.

Why are sunlight and gravity not considered matter?
Nady [450]

Sunlight and gravity are not considered matter because sunlight does not have  a rest mass that is characteristic of matter while gravity is just a vector component of matter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sunlight has energy and momentum that makes it similar to matter but it cannot be considered matter when you consider all the factors that are characteristic of matter. Light is an electromagnetic wave that is made up of photons and  the protons do not have rest mass.

Gravity is  a vector component of matter that has both magnitude as well as direction and the gravity increases with increase in mass of an object.

Identify the vibrating media in three different types of musical instruments
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

There are three basic categories of musical instruments: percussion, wind, and stringed instruments. Most musical instruments use resonance to amplify sound waves and make sounds louder. In a musical instrument, the whole instrument and the air inside it may vibrate when the head of the drum is struck.

What do the movements of stars and galaxies tell astronomers about how the universe formed?
natulia [17]
This could be Hubble's law, or something related to it. I think there's a possibly Doppler RED SHIFT in the optical spectra of stars etc as observed on the earth. It seems that they are accelerating away from the earth, and that the further away they are the faster they are moving.
It seems that this has been connected to the idea of "The Big Bang" theory of the origin of the universe which seems to have superceded Professor Sir Fred Hoye's Steady State theory of the universe.
There's some Special Relativity in this lot, too.
