Classical mechanics is based on Newtonian laws of motion and equations. Suppose a simulated atom has a mass of 18 u and a charge of +9e in the nucleus. A particle of mass 2me and charge -2e orbits the nucleus at a distance R. Derive an expression (using given symbols) of the atom's total energy based on Newton's laws only.
