AI Thread Summary
The classical acceleration of an electron in a hydrogen atom can be determined using Coulomb's law and Newton's second law. Given the separation distance of 5.29 x 10^−11 m and the electron mass of 9.11 x 10^−31 kg, the force acting on the electron can be calculated. This force leads to the acceleration, which can be derived from the formula a = F/m. The discussion highlights the importance of these fundamental laws in solving the problem. The poster successfully solved the problem after seeking assistance.

What is the classical acceleration of the electron in a hydrogen atom, separated from the proton by 5.29 x10^−11 m? Electron mass = 9.11 x10^−31 kg. I am having a problem finding an equation for this problem, if anyone could help, it would be appreciated thank you!

Look at Coulomb's law and Newton's second law.
 
thank you very much, i just solved it
 

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
