Why can scientists ignore the gravitational force when studying the physics of an atom?

Physics
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]4 years ago
4 0
Scientists assume the gravitational force as negligible as compared to other forces present in the an atom because its value would be very small. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object so small mass would lead to small force as well which is true for an atom. As compared to the nuclear forces, it would have a very small value.

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The bal
Setler [38]

Answer

given,

mass of the ball = 3 kg

swing in vertical circle with radius = 2 m

   work done by the gravity = ?          

   work done by the tension = ?            

Work done by the gravity = - m g Δh            

 Δ h = 2 + 2 = 4 m                                                                

Work done by the gravity =- 3 \times 9.8 \times 4

                                           = -117.6 J                  

work done by gravity is equal to -117.6 J            

Work done by tension will be equal to zero.        

Zero because tension is always perpendicular to velocity

work done by tension is equal to 0 J

In the space around a permanent magnet, where is the magnetic field the strongest?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

near the north and south poles of the magnet

Explanation:

Magnetic fields around a permanent magnet is strongest near the north and south poles of the magnet.

Magnetic fields are the region of space around a magnet where magnetic effects are felt.

  • This is as a result of a force field that surrounds the magnet.
  • Magnetic fields are strongest within the magnet.
  • Also, externally, they are strongest at the poles of a magnet.
  • Around the poles, magnetic lines of force leaves and enters a magnet.

The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as:
laiz [17]
<span>The time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point is known as PERIOD.

In fact, the period is defined as the time it takes a wave to make one complete oscillation: since the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave with same shape, it means that the time it takes for one wavelength to pass a fixed point in space is exactly the period.</span>
