If the accuracy in measuring the position of a particle increases, what happens to the accuracy in measuring its velocity? - The

accuracy in measuring its velocity becomes uncertain.
- The accuracy in measuring its velocity remains the same.
- The accuracy in measuring its velocity also increases.

Answer:

- The accuracy in measuring its velocity decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle which states that the position and velocity of a particle can be determined together exactly in reality.

This principle, unlike Newtonian mechanics deal with particles at microscopic level like that of an electron where if the accuracy in measurement of particle's position increases there will be  decreased accuracy in measurement of velocity of that particle.

There will be an uncertainty in accuracy in the measurement of particle's position and its velocity.

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are n_{red} = 1.344 & n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of violet light in the glass v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}

Here

\theta_1 = angle of incidence

\theta_2 = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{red} × \sin 38.4

n_{red} = 1.344

For violet light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{violet} × \sin 36.4

n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

n = \frac{c}{v}

n_{red} = 1.344

v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }

v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}

v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}

v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

F=mkv

Explanation:

Given that

v = v_i - kx

We know that acceleration a given as

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

v = v_i - kx

\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{dv_i}{dt}-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}

\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}

We know that

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

F=-mk\dfrac{dx}{dt}

F=-mkv

So the magnitude of force F

F=mkv
