The electrical force between two protons is given by:
F_e = k  \frac{e^2}{r^2}
where
k=8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant
e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C is the proton charge
r is the separation between the two protons

The gravitational force between the two protons is given by:
F_g=G \frac{m^2}{r^2}
where
G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant
m=1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg is the proton mass
r is the separation between the two protons

If we divide the electric force by the gravitational force, we get
\frac{F_e}{F_g}= \frac{k}{G} \frac{e^2}{m^2}=1.2 \cdot 10^{36}

which means that the electric force between the two protons is 1.2 \cdot 10^{36} times greater than the gravitational force.

Moreover, the two protons have same electric charge, and the electrostatic force between two same-sign charges is repulsive, while the gravitational force is always attractive: therefore, the correct answer is
<span>The electrical force is 1.2 × 1036 times greater than the gravitational force, but only the gravitational force is attractive.</span>

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The scientific notation of the measurement 0.00000000062 kg would be <span>6.2 x 10^-10 kg. Scientific notation is used to express too large and too small values of numbers. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>

OLEGan [10]

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is:

a = v² / r

a = (4.0 m/s)² / 0.60 m

a = 26.6 m/s²

Of the following transitions in the Bohr hydrogen atom, the ________ transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The <em><u>n = 2 → n = 3</u></em> transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.

Explanation:

E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev

Formula used for the radius of the n^{th} orbit will be,

where,

E_n = energy of n^{th} orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number

Here: Z = 1 (hydrogen atom)

Energy of the first orbit in H atom .

E_1=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{1^2} eV=-13.6 eV

Energy of the second orbit in H atom .

E_2=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-3.40 eV

Energy of the third orbit in H atom .

E_3=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(9)^2} eV=-1.51 eV

Energy of the fifth orbit in H atom .

E_5=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.544 eV

Energy of the sixth orbit in H atom .

E_6=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-0.378 eV

Energy of the seventh orbit in H atom .

E_7=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{(2)^2} eV=-278 eV

During an absorption of energy electron jumps from lower state to higher state.So,  absorption will take place in :

1) n = 2 → n = 3

2) n=  5 → n = 6

Energy absorbed when: n = 2 → n = 3

E=E_3-E_2

E=(-1.51 eV) -(-3.40 eV)=1.89 eV

Energy absorbed when: n = 5 → n = 6

E'=E_6-E_5

E'=(-0.378 eV)-(-0.544 eV) =0.166 eV

1.89 eV > 0.166 eV

E> E'

So,the n = 2 → n = 3 transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.

A building is 512 m high. What must be the minimum water pressure in a pipe at ground level in order to get water out of a tap i
vivado [14]

Answer:

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Height of building = 512 m

Find:

Pressure

Computation:

P2 = P1+dgh

P2 = 1 + (1000)(9.8)(512)

P2 = 51.2 atm

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa
