# Review problem. In the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular orbit about a proton, where the radius of the orbit is $0.529 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{m}$ . (a) Find the electric force exerted on each particle. (b) If this force causes the centripetal acceleration of the electron, what is the speed of the electron?

## a. $8.22 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{N}$b. $2.19 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

So our question is were us to calculate that electric force, the TV in a proton and a neutron in the house is inactive according to both Terry, the pro donors deciding inside the nucleus and electrons revolving around the newbies and were given the radius off hide reasons. All bitches, 4.5 to 9 into generates to minus 10 meters. I, the force constant coming in coolant flow is 8.99 into genders to nine. You turned me to square for colon square on the side of electron is known to be 1.6 and you can raise two minus 19 Coartem which is the same in my appetite for gold proton also. So we know the electric force between two particles that is a proton and in your tone can be returned using the Coolum slow which keys force is equal to. OK, do Magni tude off! God's on here since they are equal began right East Choir by us coil Andi we can substitute the values that this 8.99 in duty and raise to nine into one point six in 10 days to minus 19. All is quiet, divided by feel 0.5 to 9 into gender race to minus 10. Kuwait On we get the value off. Electric owes us 8.22 into 10 trays to minus eight repents, and we have a second part also here we are asked to calculate the speed off electrons in this, albeit if it does equal to the centripetal force is equal to the electric poles so we can ride the centripetal force us m these choir by our were in Mr Months of the particles these the speed of the particles on R is the radius off orbit. And if this is equal to electric course, that is, you know, the electric poles, us. Okay, East acquired by. So they asked Quiet and we can rearrange to get b speed of the particles us okay into east choir divided by and men do Andi here Mass is the mass of electron and we know the Mars of electron is equal to 9.1 month in do can dress to minus 30 even kill Ohga So we can use this for the calculation one of the other quantities he already has so we can try the beautifully drawn US quero tall, que equality toe a 0.99 into 10 grace to nine. Do 1.6 Indio Endres too minus 19 all squared, divided by 9.11 in due to injuries to minus the D one. And do little point 5 to 9 can trace to minus. And we can can create this to get the value of speed off electron in the orbit US to 2.19 in do can't raise to six. Meet there. I was thinking So this is how I regret value.
