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

1 answer:

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.

Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal

So let say force applied if F

now its two components are given as

$F_x = Fcos30$

$F_y = Fsin30$

Now the normal force on the block is given as

$N = Fsin30 + mg$

$N = 0.5F + (18\times 9.8)$

$N = 0.5F + 176.4$

now the friction force on the cart is given as

$F_f = \mu N$

$F_f = 0.625(0.5F + 176.4)$

$F_f = 110.25 + 0.3125F$

now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero

so now we have

$F_f + F_x = 0$

$Fcos30 - (110.25 + 0.3125F) = 0$

$0.866F - 0.3125F = 110.25$

$F = 199.2 N$

so the force must be 199.2 N

The value of the normal force exerted on a 2,000 gram block on a table

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

N = 19.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a block, m = 2000 g

1 kg = 1000 g

It means, 2000 g = 2kg

We need to find the value of normal force on the block on a table. Normal force is balanced by the weight of the block as follows :

N = mg, g is acceleration due to gravity

N = 2 kg × 9.8 m/s²

N = 19.6 N

So, the normal force acting on the block is 19.6 N.
