An electron at Earth's surface experiences a gravitational force of magnitude F=(9.11×10−31 kg)⋅(9.8 m/s2). Part A How far away

can a proton and an electron be from each other, such that they still exert an electric force on each other of magnitude F? (Your answer should show why gravity is unimportant on the molecular scale!)

Answer:

r = 5,085 m

Explanation:

The force exerted by on the surface of the Earth on an electron is its weight

          W = F = 9.11 10⁻³¹  9.8

          W = 8.9 10⁻³⁰ N

The electric force between an electron and a proton is given by Coulomb's Law

         Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         Fe = - k q² / r²

They ask us that W = Fe

         W = k q² / r²

          r = √ k q² / W

Let's calculate

        r = √ 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² /8.9 10⁻³⁰

        r = √ 25.86

        r = 5,085 m

Let's look for the relationship of this distance with the harmonic distance

        R / R_atomic = 5,085 / 10⁻¹⁰

        R / R_Atomic = 5 10¹⁰

We see that this distance is 10¹⁰ times the interatomic distance, so the gravitational attraction force is very small at atomic scale

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.
