An old model of a hydrogen atom has the charge +e of the proton uniformly distributed over a sphere of radius a0, with the electron of charge -e and mass m at its center. (a) What would then be the force on the electron if it were displaced from the center by a distance r # a0? (b) What would be the angular frequency of oscillation of the electron about the center of the atom once the electron was released?
(b) A magnesium atom (mass of 24 proton masses) in a crystal is measured to oscillate with a frequency of roughly 10¹3 Hz. What is the effective spring constant of the forces holding that atom in the crystal? (c) Sitting on a trampoline, a person with mass m sinks a distance Az below the trampoline's normal level surface. (i) If the person gently bounces on the trampoline (without leaving its surface), what would be the person's period of oscillation T? Check: For Az = 20 cm you should find T 0.90 s. (You should not need the person's mass, but if you think you do, assume and state a value.) (ii) Find T for Az = 45 cm. =
