Question
(a) Calculate the mass of a proton using the charge-tomass ratio given for it in this chapter and its known charge.(b) How does your result compare with the proton mass given in this chapter?
Step 1
We can rearrange this equation to solve for the mass of the proton, $m$, which gives us $m = q/(q/m)$. Show more…

(a) Calculate the mass of a proton using the charge-to- mass ratio given for it in this chapter and its known charge. (b) How does your result compare with the proton mass given in this chapter?
Using the given charge-to-mass ratios for electrons and protons, and knowing the magnitudes of their charges are equal, what is the ratio of the proton's mass to the electron's? (Note that since the charge-to-mass ratios are given to only three-digit accuracy, your answer may differ from the accepted ratio in the fourth digit.)
From the information in this chapter on the mass of the proton, the mass of the electron, and the sizes of the nucleus and the atom, calculate the densities of a hydrogen nucleus and a hydrogen atom.
