What is the difference between speed and velocity

Physics
1 answer:
tiny-mole [99]2 years ago

Speed is the distance travelled by an object whereas velocity is distance travelled by an object per unit time in a given direction.

an electron and a 0.0320-kg bullet each have a velocity of magnitude 510 m/s, accurate to within 0.0100%. within what lower limi
MArishka [77]

for this we apply, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

it states that physical variables like position and momentum, can never simultaneously know both variables at the same moment.

the formula is,

Δp * Δx = h/4π

m(e).Δv * Δx = h/4π

by rearranging,

Δx = h / 4π * m(e).Δv

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 9.11*10^-31 * 5.10*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 583.9 X 10 ⁻³¹

Δx = 0.011 X 10⁻³

for the bullet

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 0.032*10^-31 * 5.10*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 /2.05

Δx =3.23 X 10⁻³² m

therefore, we can say that the lower limits are   0.011 X 10⁻³  m for the electron and  3.23 X 10⁻³² m   for the bullet

Suppose a light source is emitting red light at a wavelength of 700 nm and another light source is emitting ultraviolet light at
klasskru [66]

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Energy of a photon is given by

E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}

Let \lambda_1 = 700 nm

\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}

For red light

E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}

For UV light

E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1

Hence, the answer is  b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

17. Suppose you were standing on a scale in an elevator in free fall. What would the scale read?
lianna [129]

What would the scale read? zero

18 In free fall you are being pulled by a gravity. "Truly" weightless presumably happens in deep space where there is nothing to pull you.
