<h3><u>Minimum uncertainty in the vertical component of the momentum of each photon:</u></h3>

According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, both the “position and velocity of the particle” cannot be measured exactly at the same time. The momentum of the particle equals the product of its mass and velocity. And it can be inferred that the “product of the uncertainties” in the “momentum and the position” of a particle equals \frac{h}{4 \pi}.  

Immediately after the photon has passed through the slit, given particle has a momentum uncertainty of \Delta P_{x} and its position uncertainty is \Delta x, then the minimum uncertainty in its momentum will be

\Delta P_{x} . \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}

If the coefficient of static friction between your friend and the car seat is 0.500 and you keep driving at a constant speed of
Rasek [7]

Answer:

90m

Explanation:

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. The friction is the product of normal force and its coefficient, and normal force is equal to gravity

F_f = \mu N = \mu mg

The acceleration caused by friction, according to Newton's 2nd law:

a_f = F_f / m = \mu g = 0.5 * 9.8 = 4.9 m/s^2

For the friend to slide over, then the centripetal acceleration must be equal to friction acceleration.

Since you are driving at a constant speed of 21 m/s, then your maximum radius of curvature can be calculated using the following formula:

a_c = a_f = v^2/r = 4.9

r = v^2/4.9 = 21^2/4.9 = 90 m

A future use of space stations may be to provide hospitals for severely burned persons. It is very painful for a badly burned pe
inessss [21]

Answer:

1.5min

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Period and Centripetal Acceleration.

By definition centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

Where,

V = Tangencial velocity

r = radius

With our values we know that

a_c = \frac{V^2}{r}

\frac{V^2}{r} = \frac{1}{10}g

Therefore solving to find V, we have:

V = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10}g*r}

V = \sqrt{\frac{9.81*200}{10}}

V = 14m/s

For definition we know that the Time to complete are revolution is given by

t = \frac{Perimeter}{Speed}

t = \frac{2\pi R}{V}

t = \frac{2\pi * 200}{14}

t = 1.5min

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

λ = 451.7 nm

Explanation:

The expression for the constructive interference of the double diffraction experiment is

          d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

   

how the experiment occurs at very small angles

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

          sin θ = y / L

we substitute

         d y / L = m λ  

         λ = \frac{d \ y}{m \ L}

let's calculate

          λ = \frac{0.342 \ 10^{-3} \ 2.80 \ 10^{-3} }{1 \ 2.12 }

          λ = 4.51699 10⁻⁷ m

          λ = 4.517 10⁻⁷ m (109 nm / 1m)

          λ = 451.7 nm

If a steel containing 1.88 wt%C is cooled relatively slowly to room temperature, what is the expected weight fraction of pearlit
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer is %pearlite = 0.06%

Explanation:

according to the exercise we have that the percentage is 1.88% C, therefore, the percentage of perlite is equal to:

%pearlite = (B*C)/(A*C) = (2-1.88)/(2-0) = 0.06%

The percentage of cementite is equal to:

%cementite = (1.88-0)/(2-0) = 0.94%
