In the Rutherford model of the hydrogen atom, a proton (mass M, charge Q) is the nucleus and an electron (mass m, charge q) moves around the proton in a circle of radius r. Let k denote the Coulomb force constant (1/4TTE0) and G the universal gravitational constant. The ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between electron and proton is: O kMm/GQq O kQq/GMm O GQq/kMm O GMm/kQq O kQq/GMmr2

In a hydrogen atom an electron is orbiting a proton. There are two forces between the electron and the proton. The Gravitational Force FG and the electrostatic Force FE. What is the factor FE / FG of those two forces.

A proton initially moves left to right long the x axis at a speed of 9,070 m/s. It moves into an electric field, which points in the negative x direction, and travels a distance of 0.7 m before coming to rest. If the proton's mass and charge are 1.67 × 10−27 kg and 1.60 × 10−19 C respectively, what is the magnitude of the electric field?

What is the escape speed for an electron initially at rest on the surface of a sphere with a radius of 0.9 cm and a uniformly distributed charge of 1.7 × 10-15 C? That is, what initial speed must the electron have in order to reach an infinite distance from the sphere and have zero kinetic energy when it gets there?

Recall that the gravitational force Fg between two masses m1 and m2 is given by the Universal Law of Gravitation: Fg= ?????/?2 where G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2 and r is the distance between the masses. (a) If the mass of the proton is 1.67 x 10-27 kg, calculate the ratio of the electric force to the gravitational force between the electron and the proton in the hydrogen atom. (answer: Fe/Fg = 2.26 x 1039) (b) Does it make sense to completely ignore the gravitational force that the proton exerts on the electron?
Astronomers have recently discovered a new planet in a faraway solar system with a radius of roughly 395 km.395 km. Spectroscopic results indicate that the atmosphere, whose height is much smaller than the planet's radius, is largely argon, making the discovery truly controversial. Experts have deduced that argon is unlikely to be generated from the planet itself, therefore it is assumed that the argon in the atmosphere was created at the inception of the planet and is completely contained by its gravitational attraction. However, wide disagreement abounds about the composition of the planet. The surface of the planet is clearly composed of aluminum oxide, but some astronomers claim that this aluminum oxide is only a thin crust and that the planet is mostly iron. Given that the atmospheric temperature is 512 ∘C,512 ∘C, calculate the minimum density ?ρ of the planet so that its atmosphere could contain argon atoms. The molar mass of argon is 39.948 g/mol39.948 g/mol and the…
