(a) The electrostatic force (not energy) of afftraction between two oppositely charged objects is given by the equation F=k(Q1Q2/d2) where k=8.99 x 109 N-m2/C2, Q1 and Q2 are the carges of the two objects in Coulombs, and d is the distance separating the two objects in meters. What is the electrostatic force of attraction (in Newtons) between an electron and a proton that are separated by 1.00 x 102 pm?
(b) The force of gravity acting between two objects is given by the equation F = G(m1m2/d2), where G is the gravitational constant, G=6.674 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and d is the distance separating them. What is the gravitational force of attraction (in Newtons) between the electron and proton?
(c) How many times larger is the electrostatic force of attraction?
