Why can scientists ignore the gravitational force when studying the physics of an atom?

Scientists assume the gravitational force as negligible as compared to other forces present in the an atom because its value would be very small. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object so small mass would lead to small force as well which is true for an atom. As compared to the nuclear forces, it would have a very small value.

Scientists can ignore the gravitational force because the electrical force between protons and electrons in the atom is millions of times stronger than the gravitational force between the protons and electrons. The gravitational force is insignificant for masses as small as the proton and electron.

A pump uses a piston of 15 cm diameter that moves at 2.0 cm/s as it pushes a fluid through a pipe. what is the speed of the flui
Nitella [24]
The important point here is that volumetric flow rate in the pump and the pipe is the same.

Q = AV, where Q = Volumetric flow  rate, A = Cross sectional area, V = velocity

Q (pump) = (π*15^2)/4*2 = 353.43 cm^3/s
Q (pipe) = (π*(3/10)^2)/4*V = 0.071V

Q (pump) = Q (pipe)
0.071V = 353.43 => V = 5000 cm/s

Therefore, the flow  of water in the pipe is 5000 cm/s.

Two 25.0N weights are suspended at opposite ends of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. What is the tension in the ro
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

tension in rope = 25.0 N

Explanation:

  • Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.
  • Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.

       ∑F = F - W = 0

       so

       F = W

       so tension in rope = F  = T  = 25 N

Hydroelectric plants are used to produce electricity. Electric generators are used in such plants that are linked to water-wheel
svp [43]

Hydroelectric plants are used to produce electricity is the statement that best explains the relationship between energy and motion.

<h3>Explains the relationship between energy and motion in the process?</h3>

There is direct relationship between energy and motion in the process because if we increase the motion of the turbines, more electricity is produced in the generator and vice versa.

So we can conclude that the relationship between energy and motion in the process is directly proportional to each other.

Five basket ball teams are playing in a tournament. The teams will play with each other only one time. How many games will be pl
77julia77 [94]

<em>Ten games</em> will be played.

The first team can be any one of 5 .  For each of those, the opponent can be any one of the other 4 .

Number of ways to pair them up = (5 x 4) = 20 ways .

<em>BUT</em> ... Whether the Reds play the Blues, or the Blues play the Reds, it's the SAME GAME.  Each possible game shows up twice in the list of 20 ways.  So there are really only 10 different pairs ==> <em>10 games</em> .
