<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}

A student starts a food fight by throwing a 0.5 kg burrito at some girl he likes. He throws it kind-of hard so he accelerates it
Elenna [48]

Explanation:

m = mass of burrito thrown by the student = 0.5 kg

a = acceleration of the burrito thrown by the student = 3 m/s²

F = force applied by the student on the burrito = ?

According to newton's second law , the net force on an object is the product of its mass and acceleration. it is given as

F = ma

inserting the values

F = (0.5) (3)

F = 1.5 N

hence the net force on the burrito comes out to be 1.5 N

A ship leaves a harbor and sails at 23.5 ∘ to the north of due west. After traveling 575 km, how far west is the ship from the h
solniwko [45]

Answer:

D = 527.31 Km

Explanation:

given,

angle of ship, θ = 23.5° N of W

distance travel in the direction = 575 Km

Distance of ship in west from harbor = ?

now,

Distance of the ship in the west direction

D = d cos θ

d = 575 Km

θ = 23.5°

inserting all the values

D = 575 x cos 23.5°

D = 575 x 0.91706

D = 527.31 Km

Hence, the distance travel by the ship in west from harbor is equal to D = 527.31 Km

Which is not true about the variables in the relationship F = ma?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because D is definitely true and there is only one false sentence what means if that non of B or C is false because if one is false so other one needs to be too.
