Homework Statement
In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the speed of the electron is approximately 2.01e6 m/s.
Find the central force acting on the electron as it revolves in a circular orbit of radius 4.84e-11 m.
Answer in units of N.
Homework Equations
Fc=m*v^2/R
The Attempt at a Solution
I said that the mass was 1.674e-27 kg. If i should use another number, please let me know.
Fc=m*v^2/R
Fc=(1.674e-27)*(2.01e6)^2/(4.84e-11)
Fc=1.39e-4
When I submit this answer to UTexas (an online HW service) it says that I am wrong. I have done this problem several times and keep getting the same thing.
Thanks!
