If an object moves 80 meters North along a straight path for 4 seconds, what is the average velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
scoundrel [369]3 years ago
3 0

Velocity = Distance / Time

Distance is given to be 80 meters

Time is given to be 4 seconds

Velocity = 80 meters / 4 seconds = 20 meters / second

Suppose that the speed of an electron traveling 2.0 km/s is known to an accuracy of 1 part in 105 (i.e., within 0.0010%). What i

Answer: 2.89(10)^{-3} m

Explanation:

The <u>Heisenberg uncertainty principle</u> postulates that the fact each particle has a wave associated with it, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine its position and speed at the same time.  

In other words:  

It is impossible to measure simultaneously (according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle. Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.

Mathematically this principle is written as:

\Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta V} (1)

Where:

\Delta x is the uncertainty in the position of the electron

h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s is the Planck constant

m=9.11(10)^{-31}kg is the mass of the electron

\Delta V is the uncertainty in the velocity of the electron.

If we know the accuracy of the velocity is 0.001\% of the velocity of the electron V=2 km/s=2000 m/s, then \Delta V is:

\Delta V=2000 m/s(0.001\%)

\Delta V=2000 m/s(\frac{0.001}{100})

\Delta V=2(10)^{-2} m/s (2)

Now, the least possible uncertainty in position \Delta x_{min} is:

\Delta x_{min}=\frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta V} (3)

\Delta x_{min}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{4 \pi (9.11(10)^{-31}kg) (2(10)^{-2} m/s)} (4)

Finally:

\Delta x_{min}=2.89(10)^{-3} m

The net electric flux through a cubic box with sides that are 22.0 cm long is 4950 N⋅m2/C . What charge is enclosed by the box?
Bond [772]

Answer:

43.83 nC

Explanation:

We know Q = ε₀Ψ where Q = charge enclosed by the cubic box,  ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m and Ψ = net electric flux through cubic box = 4950 Nm²/C

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Q = ε₀Ψ

= 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 4950 Nm²/C

= 43827.3 × 10⁻¹² C = 4.38273 × 10⁻⁸ C

= 43.8273 × 10⁻⁹ C

= 43.8273 nC

≅ 43.83 nC

: In heavy rushIn heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5
zhuklara [117]
Guessing you want the average speed. We can multiple each speed by the time we spent going that speed, and them all together and then divide by the total time we spent in traffic to get the average speed. We spent a total of 7.5 minutes in traffic, so average speed  = (12*1.5+0*3.5+15*2.5)/7.5 = 7.4 m/s

In a lab experiment, two identical gliders on an air track are held together by a piece of string, compressing a spring between
ddd [48]

Answer:

Part a)

v_2 = -0.300

Part b)

Here final kinetic energy is more than the initial kinetic energy

This increase in kinetic energy is due to spring connected between them as the spring energy is converted into kinetic energy of two blocks

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two gliders

So here we can use momentum conservation for two gliders

So we will have

m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v_i

m_1 = m_2

1.300 + v_2 = 2(0.500)

v_2 = -0.300

Part b)

now we will have

initial kinetic energy of both gliders is given as

K_i = \frac{1}{2}(m + m)(0.500)^2

K_i = 0.25m

Final kinetic energy of two gliders

K_f = \frac{1}{2}m(0.300)^2 + \frac{1}{2}m(1.300)^2

K_f = 0.89 m

so here final kinetic energy is more than the initial kinetic energy

This increase in kinetic energy is due to spring connected between them as the spring energy is converted into kinetic energy of two blocks
