In the bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron moves in a circular path around a proton. the speed of the electron is approximately 2.20 3 106 m/s. find (a) the force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit of radius 0.529 3 10210 m and (b) the centripetal acceleration of the electron.

Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:

Part a)

While moving in circular path we know that the acceleration of particle is known as centripetal acceleration

so here we will have

now the net force on the moving electron is given as

now plug in all values in it

now we have

Part b)

Centripetal acceleration is given as

tube or goog with be a great resource to with that question

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
