A quantum well is a region of semiconductor or metal film that confines particles to a small region, resulting in quantized ener

gies that are useful for the operation of a variety of electronic devices. If an electron in a quantum well is confined to an area that is 510 nm wide, what is the uncertainty in the electron's velocity along the same direction?

Answer:

226.2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given \Delta x=510nm=510\times 106{-9}m

The plank's constant h=6.67\times 10^{-34}

Mass of electron m=9.11\times 10^{-31}kg

Now according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle \Delta v\geq \frac{h}{2\pi m\Delta x}

So \Delta v\geq \frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{2\times 3.14\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 510\times 10^{-9}}=226.2m/sec

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h3>14.97m/s</h3>

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of the car u = 8m/s

Distance travelled by the rider S = 40m

Acceleration a = 2m/s²

Required

rider's velocity after the acceleration v

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

v² = 8²+2(2)(40)

v² = 64+160

v² = 224

v = √224

v = 14.97m/s

Hence the rider's velocity after the acceleration is 14.97m/s

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
makvit [3.9K]

The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m  --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right  --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).
