<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>
Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was the first person to report the four element classification system but also ended up including some compounds rather than elements.
I needed this ! Thanks a lot
Newton's 2nd law:
Fnet = ma
Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.
The electric force on a charged object is given by
Fe = Eq
Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.
We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe
Fe = Eq
Eq = ma
a = Eq/m
We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:
mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg
mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg
The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.
