Multiple-Concept Example 3 provides some pertinent background for this problem. Suppose a single electron orbits about a nucleus containing two protons (+2e), as would be the case for a helium atom from which one of the naturally occurring electrons is removed. The radius of the orbit is 3.08 x 10-11 m. Determine the magnitude of the electron's centripetal acceleration.

A proton is fired from far away towards the nucleus of a mercury atom. Mercury is element number 80, and the diameter of the nucleus is 14.0 fm. If the proton is fired at a speed of 13600000 m/s, what is its closest approach to the surface of the nucleus (in fm)? Assume that the nucleus remains at rest.

Calculate the angular velocity ω of an electron orbiting a proton in an atom, assuming the radius of the orbit is 5.02×10^-11 m. You may assume that the proton is stationary and the centripetal force is supplied by Coulomb attraction.
A hydrogen atom when in its lowest energy state consists of a proton nucleus of charge +e (remember that +e = 1.6 x 10-19 C) and an electron of charge -e and mass of 9.1 x 10-31 kg. In the Bohr model of the atom, the electron moves around the nucleus in an approximately circular orbit with a radius of 0.52 x 10-10 m. The speed of the electron when in this lowest energy orbit is approximately 2.3 x 106 m/s. Imagine that we want to ionize this atom (that is free up the electron from its nucleus) by launching ANOTHER electron at the atom to break it apart. If we were to launch this electron from very far away from the atom, then how fast must it be launched in order to break apart the atom, so that all three particles (the proton and two electrons) end up at rest, very far apart?

In the figure a uniform, upward electric field of magnitude 1.60 × 103 N/C has been set up between two horizontal plates by charging the lower plate positively and the upper plate negatively. The plates have length L = 17.0 cm and separation d = 1.70 cm. An electron is then shot between the plates from the left edge of the lower plate.
