Question

them? (b) What mass object would experience this same force in the Earth's gravitational field? kg 4. -/2 points Hewitt 12 22 E.039. Electronic types neglect the force of gravity on electrons. see why, compute the force of the To Earth's gravity on an electron and compare it with the force exerted on the electron electric field of magnitude 9000 v/m (a relatively small field). The mass and charge of an electron are given on the inside back cover. N (force due to gravity) N (force due to electric field) 5. -/2 points Hewitt12 22.E.040. Atomic physicists ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, calculate and compare the gravitational and electrical forces between an electron and a proton separated by 2.00 x 10-10 m. The needed charges and masses are given on the inside back cover. N (force due to gravity) N (force due to electric charge) 3/23/2017 5:04 PM

Explanation / Answer

2)

F = kq^2/r^2

Where

F is the force

k is the constant

q is the charge

r is distance between them

24 = 9*10^9q^2/0.09^2

q = 4.65*10^-6 C
