Calculate the gravitational attraction between a proton of mass 1.67 x 10^−27kg and an electron of mass 9.11 x 10^−31kg if they are 5 x 10^−11m apart.

Question

Your work must be clear to read. Clearly label all cases (a, b). Show all steps in GRASS format. GRASS means given/required/analysis/solution/statement. You can type your solutions and answers, but neat handwriting is perfectly acceptable. Please submit your assignment as ONE PDF file on D2L. I do not accept any assignments via email after the due date.

Answer 1

i can give you the solution, but you can put it in the correct format.

Use the equation for gravitational attraction: F = G x M1 x M2 / D^2

G = 6.6743 x 10^-11 N m^2 / kg x g^2

M1, M2 = given masses.

D = given separation distance.

Just plug in the given values into the equation and calculate!
