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}.

Will mark brainliest! Please help!
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

30 seconds

Explanation:

A = A02^-(t/hl)

--> ln(A/A0) = -(t/hl)ln2

solving for hl,

hl = -t x ln2 /ln(A/A0)

= -(60 min)xln2/ln(50/200)

= 0.5 min or 30 seconds

When an automobile moves with constant velocity, the power developed is used to overcome the frictional forces exerted by the ai
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The total frictional force is 358.0 newtons

Explanation:

Power is the amount of average work (W) an object does on a period of time (Δt):

P=\frac{W}{\Delta t}

Remember average work is average force (F) times displacement (Δs):

P=\frac{F \Delta s}{\Delta t}

but displacement over time is average speed v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}, then:

P=Fv (1)

That is, the power of the car is the force the engine does times the speed of the car. As the question states, if the car is at constant velocity then the power developed is used to overcome the frictional forces exerted by the air and the road, that is by Newton's first law, the force the motor of the car does is equal the force of frictional forces. So, to find the frictional forces we only have to solve (1) for F:

F=\frac{P}{v}

Knowing that 1hp is 746W then 30hp=22380W and 1 mile = 1609m then 140 mph = 225308\frac{m}{h} = 62.5 \frac{m}{s}, then:

F=\frac{22380}{62.5}=358.0 N

Describe the acceleration of your bicycle as you ride it from your home to the store
erik [133]
<span>While you're going to the store, your acceleration changes. Some times it increases your overall speed sometimes it reduces it. Constant acceleration does not occur because it would mean that you would constantly accelerate and eventually go past the store. Even reduction of speed is a type of acceleration in physics. When you reach it, we can then calculate how much your velocity was on average and analyze how changing acceleration would've affected it.</span>
