Answer:

(a): F_e = 8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.

(b): F_g = 3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.

(c): \dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}.

Explanation:

Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053\times 10^{-9} m.

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges q_1 and q_2 respectively is given by

F_e = \dfrac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}

where,

  • k = Coulomb's constant = 9\times 10^9\ \rm Nm^2/C^2.
  • r = distance of separation between the charges.

For the given system,

The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, q_1 = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.

The charge on the electron, q_2 = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.

These two are separated by the distance, r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

F_e = \dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times |+1.6\times 10^{-19}|\times |-1.6\times 10^{-19}|}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.

Part (b):

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses m_1 and m_1 respectively is given by

F_g = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}.

where,

  • G = Universal Gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ \rm Nm^2/kg^2.
  • r = distance of separation between the masses.

For the given system,

The mass of proton, m_1 = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg.

The mass of the electron, m_2 = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.

Distance between the two, r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

F_g = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times (1.67\times 10^{-27})\times (9.11\times 10^{-31})}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.

The ratio \dfrac{F_e}{F_g}:

\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{8.202\times 10^{-8}}{3.6125\times 10^{-47}}=2.27\times 10^{39}.

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s
