Chapter 9, Problem 38SP

The old Bohr model of the hydrogen atom has a single electron circling the nucleus at a speed of roughly 2.19 × 106 m/s. The orbital radius is about 5.31 × 10−11 m. Find the approximate centripetal acceleration of the electron.

In Bohr’s model of the H atom, an electron orbits a proton in a circle of radius 5.28 x 10-11 m with a speed of 2.18 x 106 m/s. What is the acceleration of the electron in this model?
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular path around a proton. The speed of the electron is approximately 2.15  106 m/s. (a) Find the force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit of radius 0.528 ✕ 10−10 m. magnitude      N direction       (b) Find the centripetal acceleration of the electron. magnitude      m/s2 direction
An electron has a mass of 9.11x10-31 kg. In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the electron is viewed as orbiting the single proton in the nucleus; the centripetal force is provided by the electrical attraction between the oppositely charged proton and electron. The radius of orbit is 5.29x10-11 m. What is the speed at which the electron moves as it orbits the proton. (Hint: Centripetal acceleration is v2/r.) A) 2.28*106 m/s B) 5.33*104 m/s                       C) None of these.
