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.
- The accuracy in measuring its velocity decreases.

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 student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force)
salantis [7]

Answer:

<em>The velocity with which the student goes down the bottom of glide is 12.48m/s.</em>

Explanation:

The Non conservative force is defined as a force which do not store energy or get he energy dissipate the energy from the system as the system progress with the motion.

Given are

   <em>  mass of the student 73 kg</em>

<em>      height of water glide 11.8 m</em>

<em>      work done as -5.5*10³ J</em>

Have to find speed at which the student goes down the glide.

According to<em> Law of Conservation of energy</em>,

          K.E =P.E+Work Done

 mv²/2=mgh +W

Rearranging the above eqn for v

v = √2(gh+W/m)

Substituting values,

V =  12.48 m/s.

<em>The velocity with which the student goes down the bottom of glide is 12.48m/s.</em>

What is the difference between a graph of linear motion and a graph of harmonic motion?
fredd [130]
Hope this helps :)

When describing linear motion, you need only one graph representing each of the three terms, while projectile motion requires a graph of the x and y axes. Graphs of simple harmonic motion are sine curves. Circular motion is different from other forms of motion because the speed of the object is constant.

Describe your acceleration as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk.
Paraphin [41]

Answer: when you increase or decrease your speed.

Explanation:

Moving a skate at rest, you need to apply force in order to cause acceleration.

F = ma Where

F = force applied

m = mass of the skate

a = acceleration

The initial velocity u will be equal to zero and the skate will acceleration to a certain velocity.

as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk, you will accelerate when you increase your speed. Because

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. That is,

Acceleration = change in velocity/ time.

And also, you will decelerate when you reduce the speed or velocity down your neighborhood sidewalk.
