Answer:

1.170*10^-3 m

3.23*10^-32 m

Explanation:

To solve this, we apply Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

the principle states that, "if we know everything about where a particle is located, then we know nothing about its momentum, and vice versa." it also can be interpreted as "if the uncertainty of the position is small, then the uncertainty of the momentum is large, and vice versa"

Δp * Δx = h/4π

m(e).Δv * Δx = h/4π

If we make Δx the subject of formula, by rearranging, we have

Δx = h / 4π * m(e).Δv

on substituting the values, we have

for the electron

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 9.11*10^-31 * 4.95*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 5.67*10^-31

Δx = 1.170*10^-3 m

for the bullet

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 0.033*10^-31 * 4.95*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 0.021

Δx = 3.23*10^-32 m

therefore, we can say that the lower limits are 1.170*10^-3 m for the electron and 3.23*10^-32 for the bullet

A metal rod of length (L) moves with velocity (v), perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, which is perpendicular to
Alborosie

Explanation:

If a metal rod of length L moves with velocity v is moving perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=Blv

The electric field in the conductor is given by :

E=\dfrac{\epsilon}{l}\\\\E=\dfrac{Blv}{l}\\\\E=Bv

It is clear that the electric field is independent of the length of the rod. If the length of the rod is doubled, the electric field in the rod remains the same.

If a machine increases force it must apply the force over a long distance? True or false
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The machine must apply the force over a shorter distance. That's because a machine doesn't change the amount of work and work equals force times distance. Therefore, if force increases, distance must decrease

FALSE
