Explanation:

It is given that,

Uncertainty in the speed of an electron, \Delta v=3.5\times 10^3\ m/s

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

\Delta x.\Delta p=\dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x is the uncertainty in the position of an electron

Since, \Delta p=m\Delta v

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

\Delta x=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.5\times 10^3}

\Delta x=1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m

So, the uncertainty in its position is 1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A computational model predicts the maximum potential energy a roller coaster car can have given its mass and its speed at the lo
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the coaster car, m = 350 kg

speed of the coaster car at the lowest point, v = 25 m/s

The coaster car will have maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point and based on law of conservation of mechanical energy, the maximum kinetic energy of the coaster car at the lowest point will be equal to maximum potential energy at the highest point.

K.E_{max} = P.E_{max}

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} (350)(25)^2\\\\K.E_{max} =109,375 \ J

Thus, P.E_{max} = 109,375 \ J

Therefore, the prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J
