Physics Bohr Model Problem?
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom,
the speed of the electron is approximately
2.08 × 106 m/s.
Find the central force acting on the electron
as it revolves in a circular orbit of radius
5.45 × 10−11 m
Answer in units of N
Find the centripetal acceleration of the electron.
Answer in units of m/s^2
Answers
Andrew Smith
F = m v^2 / r You need to look up the mass of the electron then merely substitute.
JosephV
F = 9.1e-31 * 4.3264e12 / 5.45e-11 9.1*4.3264/5.45 e12+11-31 F= 7.224e-8 N 7.224 10-8 Newton.
