No "might". The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere HAS gone up since the start of industrialisation as the result of burning fossil fuels.

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide (about the size of an atomic nucleus). What's the minimum uncertainty in its velocity?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Minimum uncertainty in velocity of a proton, $\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide, $\Delta x=10^{-15}\ m$

We need to find the minimum uncertainty in its velocity. We know that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle gives the uncertainty between position and the momentum such that,

$\Delta p.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

Since, p = mv

$\Delta (mv).\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$m \Delta v.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta v\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi m\Delta x}$

$\Delta v\ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 10^{-15}}$

$\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$

So, the minimum uncertainty in its velocity is greater than $3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A 3.1-kilogram gun initially at rest is free to

34kurt

The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.
