- In the Bohr model of the hydrogen (H) atom, the electron moves on a circular path (orbit) around the nucleus,which consists of a single proton. In the ground state of H (the lowest energy level of H), the electron orbitsthe proton at a distance of 0.529 A (or 5.29 × 10^−11 m; 1 A˚ = 10^−10 m) with a linear speed of 2.19 × 10^6 m/s.(a) What is the angular speed of the electron?(b) How many orbits around the proton does the electron make each second?(c) What is the electron’s centripetal acceleration?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardSuppose an electron (g= - e= -1.6x 10-19 C ,m=9.1× 10-31 kg) is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of Vab = +5000 V.

He carefully adjusts them so they are 8.53 cm apart from each other and whips up a power supply to create a electric potential of 93 Volts between the plates. He notices there is a tiny hole on the positive plate so he decides to shoot a strangely handy electron straight through the hole at 3,950,851 m/s. Why? Who knows? How far in meters will the hapless electron travel from the positive plate until it stops?arrow_forward
