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

Physics

Nastasia [14]4 years ago

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 chicken crosses a 7.50 m wide road at a constant speed of 0.367 m/s. How much time does it take to cross (in seconds)?
mars1129 [50]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 20.436 seconds

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Speed = Distance × time

Therefore;

Time = Distance/speed

Distance = 7.50 m, speed = 0.367 m/s

Time = 7.50/0.367

         <u>= 20.436 seconds </u>

If the mass of a person is 600kg on Earth what is the persons mass on the moon
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The mass of the person would remain 600kg.

Explanation:

mass refers to the amount of matter in a particular object. therefore even though the moon has less gravitational force than the Earths, it still would have the same mass since the person is made up of the same amount of matter on Earth and in the moon.

when asked about weight, it would be 1000N. but in mass , same 600kg.
