In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular path around a proton. The speed of the electron is appro

ximately 2.03 106 m/s.
(a) Find the force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit of radius 5.35 10-11 m.

In order to answer these questions, we need to know the charges on
the electron and proton, and then we need to know the electron's mass. 
I'm beginning to get the creepy feeling that, in return for the generous
5 points, you also want me to go and look these up so I can use them
in calculations ... go and collect my own straw to make the bricks with,
as it were. 

Ok, Rameses:

Elementary charge . . . . .  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹  coulomb
                                        negative on the electron
                                        plussitive on the proton

Electron rest-mass . . . . .  9.11 x 10⁻³¹  kg


a).  The force between two charges is

      F  =  (9 x 10⁹) Q₁ Q₂ / R²

          =  (9 x 10⁹ m/farad) (-1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹m)²

          =     ( -2.304 x 10⁻²⁸) / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)²

          =          8.05 x 10⁻⁸  Newton .


b).  Centripetal acceleration  = 

                                               v² / r  .

                  A  =  (2.03 x 10⁶)² / (5.35 x 10⁻¹¹)

                     =      7.7 x 10²²  m/s² .

That's an enormous acceleration ... about  7.85 x 10²¹  G's !
More than enough to cause the poor electron to lose its lunch.

It would be so easy to check this work of mine ...
First I calculated the force, then I calculated the centripetal acceleration.
I didn't use either answer to find the other one, and I didn't use  "  F = MA "
either.

I could just take the ' F ' that I found, and the 'A' that I found, and the
electron mass that I looked up, and mash the numbers together to see
whether  F = M A .

I'm going to leave that step for you.   Good luck !

6. What are 3 different evidences of evolution? How is each form used to provide evidence of evolution?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.

What is an electrical charge how does it create electrical current
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Explanation:

The moving charged particles in an electric current are called charge carriers. In metals, one or more electrons from each atom are loosely bound to the atom, and can move freely about within the metal. These conduction electrons are the charge carriers in metal conductors.

The flow of electrons in a direction is known as electric current. The tendency of attraction between the positive and negative charges makes electric current flow through a wire
