How Do You Calculate Electron Force and Speed in Bohr's Atom Model?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the force on the electron in Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom, the Coulomb force between the electron and proton must be determined, which is balanced by the centripetal force. The radius of the hydrogen atom is given as r = 5.29 x 10^-11 m. Using classical mechanics, the centripetal acceleration and orbital speed of the electron can also be derived from this force. The relevant equations for these calculations can be found in resources like HyperPhysics. Understanding these relationships is essential for solving the problem accurately.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
