Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of

the ratio of the electrical force and gravitational force Fe Fg between an electron and a proton separated by a distance of 3 m. What is the magnitude of the electrical force? The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 × 109 N · m 2 /C 2 , the gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 m3 /kg · s 2 , the mass of a proton is 1.67262 × 10−27 kg, the mass of an electron is 9.10939 × 10−31 kg, and the elemental charge is 1.602 × 10−19 C. Answer in units of N. What is the ratio of the magnitude of the electrical force to the magnitude of the gravitational force? Answer in units of N.

Answer:

2.27\cdot 10^{49}

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_p is the proton mass

m_e is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_p = q_e = q is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

1. Calcula la fuerza de atracción electrostática entre dos cuerpos de cargas q1 = -18 C y q2 = +5 mC, separados entre sí por una
romanna [79]

Answer:

A) F=-20.16×10⁹N

B) if the distance doubles, force is 4 times smaller.

Explanation:

q1=-28C

q2=5mC=0.005C

d=25cm=0.25m

Electrostatic force between charges: F=k×q1×q2/d², where k is a coefficient that has the value k=9 × 10⁹ N⋅m²⋅C^(-2) for air.

Thus:

F=9×10⁹×(-28)×0.005/0.25²

F=-20.16×10⁹N

The minus sign indicates attraction.

If distance doubles, d1=2×d, then we have 4d² at the denominator and the force is 4 times smaller.

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown. A man pushes on a door from the left. A woman pushes on the door
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The door will move when the forces exerted by each individual becomes unbalanced.

Explanation:

The Door will only move when the forces exerted by each of the individual is unbalanced i.e. when the Torque is unbalanced

This is because there will only be a reaction or movement of an object  when the applied force > resistant force acting on the object.

example : An object at rest will only move when the applied force is  greater than the frictional forces acting on the object at rest.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

<em>The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall</u>

The penny is dropped from a height of y=200 m. The equation of the height on a free-fall motion is given by:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where g=9.8\ m/s^2, and t is the time.

Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Using the value y=200:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*200}{9.8}}

t=6.39 sec

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds
