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

Igoryamba

A particle moves along a straight line with equation of motion s = f(t), where s is measured in meters and t in seconds. Find the velocity and the speed when t = 4. f(t) = 12t² + 35 t + 1

Answer:

Velocity = 131 m/s

Speed = 131 m/s

Explanation:

Equation of motion, s = f(t) = 12t² + 35 t + 1

To get velocity of the particle, let us find the first derivative of s

v (t) = ds/dt = 24t + 35

At t = 4

v(4) = 24(4) + 35

v(4) = 131 m/s

Speed is the magnitude of velocity. Since the velocity is already positive, speed is also 131 m/s

An object is five focal lengths from a concave mirror.how do the object and image heights compare?
enot [183]

An object distance is presented as s = 5f and we know that the mirror equation relates the image distance to the object distance and the focal length.

The mirror equation is 1/f = 1/s + 1/s’ where the variable f stands for the focal length of the mirror. Variable (s) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the object and the variable <span>(s’) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the image. </span>

In addition, a concave mirror will have a positive focal length (f) and a convex mirror will have a negative focal length (f).

Now, we then have 1/f = 1/5f + 1/s’ which is s’ = 5f/4

Then we get the magnification ratio that expresses the size or amount of magnification or reduction of the object or image and to get the magnification, we use this equation: M= s’/s

M= 5f/4x5f

s’ = 1/4s

Therefore, the image height is one fourth of the object height
