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

Physics

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.

What is the ratio of thicknesses of crown glass and water that would contain the same number of wavelengths of light?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.

Lana71 [14]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The force of attraction existent between the proton and neutron in the nucleus of an atom is extremely large. When the nucleus splits there is a large release of heat and energy larger than the force present in any of the other options listed.
