In classical mechanics, there is a famous effect called Sling-shot effect (the link will support a demonstration), by which the satellite orbiting the huge planet will steal some kinetic energy from the planet (combining the laws of conservation of energy and momentum ).
So my naive question is: Is there any corresponding effect can exist in the atom? I mean the electron plays the role of satellite and the nucleus plays the role of a planet, or electron can steal the speed of nucleus (I believe the conservation of energy and momentum will still work in an atom)?
