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 0.02kg dart is loaded into a toy spring gun by compressing the spring 6cm. If the spring has a constant of 20 N/m, find… a. Th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

What is the wavelength of a wave whose speed and period are 72.0 m/s and 5.00 s , respectively ?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The distance between the two successive crests of the wave is 360m

Explanation:

Wavelength is defined as the property of wave in which the distance between identical points between two successive waves are calculated

Wavelength is referred to as the <em>distance between two successive crests or troughs</em>

<em>Given that:</em>

speed = 72.0 m/s

time = 5 seconds

Using the formula

C = fλ

Where C = speed, f = freequency and λ = wavelength

F = 1 / time

F = 1/5

F = 0.2Hz

From the fomula C = fλ

make λ the subject of the formula

λ = C / f

λ = 72/0.2

<em>λ = 360m</em>
