Consider the electrostatic force between two particles of equal mass m = 42.7 × 10-26 kg and carrying different charges q1 = 18e and q2 = 29e, where e denotes the magnitude of the charge on an electron.
At what distance, in meters, is the electrostatic force between these two particles equal to the weight of one of them?
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.
Use the following constants to calculate the problem:
me=9.1*10-31 kg
mp=1.67*10-27 kg
e=1.6*10-19 C
k=8.99*109 Nm2/C2
r=1.11*10-10 m
?=6.67⋅10−11??2??2G=6.67⋅10−11Nm2kg2
Please give your answer FE/FG in FE/FG*1040
ie. for 6.734*1042 please write 673.4
