Question

n the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular path around a proton. The speed of the electron is an (a) Find the force acting on the electron as it revolves in a ircular orbit of radius 0.528 x 10"10 m. approximately 2.22 x 106 m/s. Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. N directionwad (b) Find the centripetal acceleration of the electron. magnitude 9334 e122 m/s2 Need Help? A curve in a road forms part of a horizontal cirdle. As a car goes around it at constant speed 14.0 m/s, the What is the total horizontal force on the driver if the speed on the same curve is 2 l total force on the driver has magnitude 118 N direction Need Help? motion (as seen by the riders), with no motion to the left or right. in the figure to point a Assume the

Explanation / Answer


a) Fc = m*v^2/ r
Fc = 9.1*10-31 * (2.2*106)2 / (0.528*10-10)
Fc= 8.341 *10-8 N


b) ac = Fc / m = 8.341*10^-8 / (9.10938188*10^-31) = 9.166*1022 m/s2
