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.

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 1.2×106 kg/s and falls 50.0 m. How much power is generated by the fal
quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

10. According to Newton's First Lawy , if a box is pushed with no external resistance, what will the action of the box be ?
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law of motion, if a box is pushed with no external resistance, the box will keep on moving due to the absence of external force. It might gets stopped due to frictional force that is acting between the surface and the ball. The first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. the magnitude of force acting on the object is given by second law of motion.

You have a pulley 10.4 cm in diameter and with a mass of 2.3 kg. You get to wondering whether the pulley is uniform. That is, is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of Pulley=10.4 cm

mass of Pulley(m)=2.3 kg

mass of book(m_0)=1.7 kg

height(h)=1 m

time taken=0.64 s

h=ut+frac{at^2}{2}

1=0+\frac{a(0.64)^2}{2}

a=4.88 m/s^2and [tex]a=\alpha r

where \alphais angular acceleration of pulley

4.88=\alpha \times 5.2\times 10^{-2}

\alpha =93.84 rad/s^2

And Tension in Rope

T=m(g-a)

T=1.7\times (9.8-4.88)

T=8.364 N

and Tension will provide Torque

T\times r=I\cdot \alpha

8.364\times 5.2\times 10^{-2}=I\times 93.84

I=0.463\times 10^{-2} kg-m^2

I_{original}=\frac{mr^2}{2}=0.31\times 10^{-2}kg-m^2

Thus mass is uniformly distributed or some more towards periphery of Pulley
