Imagine an alternate universe where the value of the Planck constant is . In that universe, which of the following objects would

require quantum mechanics to describe, that is, would show both particle and wave properties? Which objects would act like everyday objects, and be adequately described by classical mechanics? object quantum or classical? A virus with a mass of 9.4 x 10-17 g, 280. nm wide, moving at 0.50 µm/s. classical quantum A buckyball with a mass of 1.2 x 10-21 g, 0.7 nm wide, moving at 37. m/s. classical quantum A mosquito with a mass of 1.0 mg, 6.3 mm long, moving at 1.1 m/s. classical quantum A turtle with a mass of 710. g, 22. cm long, moving at 2.8 cm/s. classical quantum

Question: The planck constant was not given. In this calculation, planck constant of 6.62607*10^-9 Js  is used for the calculation.

Answer:

(a) A virus -------------Classical

(b) A buckyball -----Classical

(c) A mosquito ------ Quantum

(d) A turtle  ------------Quantum

Explanation:

 Calculating the wavelength using the formula;

λ= h/(mv)

where

λ= Wavelength

h = Planck Constant = 6.62607*10^-9 Js

m = mass in kg

v = velocity in m/s

Virus size = 280. nm = 2.80*10⁻⁷ m

a)

A Virus:

m = 9.4 x 10-17 g 9.4*10⁻²⁰ kg

v = 0.50 µm/s = 5 *10⁻⁷ m/s

h = 6.62607*10^-9 Js

Virus size = 280 nm = 2.80*10⁻⁷ m

Substituting into the formula; we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ (9.4*10⁻²⁰* 5 *10⁻⁷)

  = 6.62607*10^-9/4.7*10^-26

  = 1.4*10^17 m

Classical : Wavelength is bigger than it's size

(b)

A buckyball

m = 1.2 x 10-21 g = 1.2 *10⁻²⁴ kg

V = 37 m/s

Size = 0.7 nm = 7*10⁻¹⁰ m

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ ( 1.2 *10⁻²⁴* 37)

  =  6.62607*10^-9/4.44*10^-23

  = 1.49 *10^14 m

Classical : Wavelength is bigger than it's size

(c)

A mosquito

Mass = 1.0 mg = 1*10⁻⁶ kg

v = 1.1 m/s

Size =  6.3 mm = 6.3*10⁻³ m

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ (  1*10⁻⁶* 1.1)

  =  6.62607*10^-9/1.1*10^-6

  = 6.02*10^-3 m

Quantum Approach: The wavelength and the size are comparable

(d)

A turtle

Mass = 710. g = 0.71 kg

Size =  22. cm = 0.22 m

V =  2.8 cm/s. = 0.028 m/s

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ (  0.71* 0.028)

  = 6.62607*10^-9/0.01988

   = 3.33*10^-7 m

Quantum Approach: The wavelength and the size are comparable

Distance versus Displacement Worksheet
Umnica [9.8K]

when we find the distance we will add all the blocks so

distance = 6+6+4

distance = 14blocks

when we find the displacement we will add and minus too

As you can read he goes to the south 6 and to north 6 so he leave that place and back to the place again so the displacement is 0. and again he goes to the west 4 blocks so the displacement = <em><u>4blocks</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>west</u></em>

A proton is placed in an electric field of intensity 700 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of this p
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of proton will be a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given a proton is placed in an electric field of intensity of 700 N/C

So electric field E = 700 N/C

Mass of proton m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg

Charge on proton e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

So electric force on the proton F=qE=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 700=1.120\times 10^{-16}N

This force will be equal to force due to acceleration of the proton

According to newton's law force is given by F = ma

So 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times a=1.120\times 10^{-16}

a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2

So acceleration of proton will be a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2
