Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

              p = - i h’  d φ / dx

             h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a)  φ = e^{ikx}

        .d φ dx = i k e^{ikx}

We replace

        p = h’ k e^{ikx}

        i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

            p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

           p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

          p = 0

c) φ = e^{-ax^{2} }

         d φ / dx = -a 2x  e^{-ax^{2} }

         .p = i a g ’2x  e^{-ax^{2} }

       The average moment is

         p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

         p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

         p = ∞

How much is required to accelerate a 5kg mass at 20 m/s2
zhannawk [14.2K]

use F = ma

F : force m : mass a : acceleration

so

f = 5kg * 20 m/s2 = 100 N

jason hits a baseball off a tee toward right field. the ball has a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s and lands 5 meters from the tee
Leni [432]

Answer:

The height is 1,225 meters

Explanation:

DistanceX= speedX × time ⇒ time= (5 meters) ÷ (10 meters/second) = 0,5 seconds

DistanceY= high= (1/2) × g × (time^2) = (1/2) × 9,8 (meters/(second^2)) × 0,25 (second^2) = 1,225 meters
