Explanation:

It is given that,

An electron is located on a pinpoint having a diameter of 3.52 µm, \Delta x=3.52\times 10^{-6}\ m

We need to find the minimum uncertainty in the speed of the electron. It can be calculated using Heisenberg uncertainty principal as :

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

\Delta p \geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}

Since, p = m v

So, mv \geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}

\Delta v \geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta x m}

\Delta v \geq \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi 3.52\times 10^{-6}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}}

\Delta v\geq 16.57\ m/s

So, the minimum uncertainty in the speed of the electron is greater than 16.57 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

How many joules of heat must be transferred to a 410-g aluminum pizza pan to raise its temperature from 32oC to 232oC? The speci
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ

a ball rolls along the floor with a constant velocity of 3 m/s. How far will it have gone after 234 seconds?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The ball travel for 702m

Explanation:

distance = speed × time

speed = 3m/s

time = 234s

distance = 3 × 234

= 702m

You place an ice cube of mass 7.50×10−3kg and temperature 0.00∘C on top of a copper cube of mass 0.540 kg. All of the ice melts,
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The value is T_c  =  12 .1 ^oC

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the ice cube is m_i  =  7.50 *10^{-3} \  kg

The temperature of the ice cube is T_i = 0^o C

The mass of the copper cube is m_c  =  0.540 \  kg

The final temperature of both substance is T_f  =  0^oC

Generally form the law of thermal energy conservation,

The heat lost by the copper cube = heat gained by the ice cube

Generally the heat lost by the copper cube is mathematically represented as

Q =  m_c  *  c_c *  [T_c  -  T_f ]

The specific heat of copper is c_c  = 385J/kg \cdot  ^oC

Generally the heat gained by the ice cube is mathematically represented as

Q_1 =  m_i * L

Here L is the latent heat of fusion of the ice with value L  =  3.34 * 10^{5} J/kg

So

Q_1 =  7.50 *10^{-3} * 3.34 * 10^{5}

=> Q_1 =  2505 \ J

So

2505  =  0.540  *  385 *  [T_c  - 0 ]

=>    T_c  =  12 .1 ^oC
