PROFESSOR: And this is a question based on where we left off on Wednesday -- we were talking about Coulomb's force law to describe the interaction between two particles and good job, most of you got this correct.

教授：这是我们上次最后,留下的问题-我们讲到,描述粒子间相互作用的,库伦定律，很好,大部分人都做对了。

So, let's think qualitatively for a second about what that means or what the real meaning of that is. What that is telling us is that according to Newtonian mechanics and Coulomb's force law, is that the electron should actually plummet into the nucleus in 0.1 nanoseconds.

让我们定性的想想,这意味着什么,这告诉我们,根据牛顿力学,和库仑定律，电子,在0。1纳秒内,就会掉到原子核里面。

So, we can use Coulomb's force law to think and it does that, it tells us the force is a function of that distance. But what it does not tell us, which if we're trying to describe an atom we really want to know, is what happens to the distance as time passes?

来考虑这两个粒子之间的,它告诉我们力随距离的函数关系,但它不能告诉我们，而我们如果要描述,原子又非常想知道的是,距离随时间的变化时怎样的？
