The correct Answer is:
To calculate the gravitational force of attraction between a proton and an electron, we will use the formula for gravitational force: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^2} \] Where: - \( F \) is the gravitational force, - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant, - \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the two objects, - \( r \) is the distance between the centers of the two masses. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Mass of the proton, \( m_1 = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of the electron, \( m_2 = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg} \) - Distance between them, \( r = 1 \, \text{Fermi} = 1 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \) - Gravitational constant, \( G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ F = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11}) \cdot (1.67 \times 10^{-27}) \cdot (9.1 \times 10^{-31})}{(1 \times 10^{-15})^2} \] 3. **Calculate the denominator:** \[ (1 \times 10^{-15})^2 = 1 \times 10^{-30} \] 4. **Calculate the numerator:** \[ 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \cdot 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \cdot 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \] - First, multiply \( 1.67 \) and \( 9.1 \): \[ 1.67 \times 9.1 = 15.197 \] - Now multiply by \( 6.67 \): \[ 6.67 \times 15.197 \approx 101.2 \] - Combine the powers of ten: \[ 10^{-11} \times 10^{-27} \times 10^{-31} = 10^{-69} \] - Therefore, the numerator is approximately: \[ 101.2 \times 10^{-69} \approx 1.012 \times 10^{-67} \] 5. **Now, substitute back into the formula:** \[ F = \frac{1.012 \times 10^{-67}}{1 \times 10^{-30}} = 1.012 \times 10^{-37} \, \text{N} \] 6. **Final Result:** \[ F \approx 1.013 \times 10^{-37} \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answer: The gravitational force of attraction between the proton and the electron is approximately \( 1.013 \times 10^{-37} \, \text{N} \).

To calculate the gravitational force of attraction between a proton and an electron, we will use the formula for gravitational force: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^2} \] Where: - \( F \) is the gravitational force, - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant, - \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the two objects, ...
