Answer:

Uncertainty in position of the bullet is \Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 35 g = 0.035 kg

Velocity of bullet, v = 709 m/s

The uncertainty in momentum is 0.20%. The momentum of the bullet is given by :

p=mv

p=0.035\times 709=24.81\ kg-m/s

Uncertainty in momentum is,

\Delta p=0.2\%\ of\ 24.81

\Delta p=0.049

We need to find the uncertainty in position. It can be calculated using Heisenberg uncertainty principal as :

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

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

\Delta x=\dfrac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 0.049}

\Delta x=1.07\times 10^{-33}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A string is wrapped several times around the rim of a small hoop with radius 7cm and mass 2kg. The free end of the string is hel
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of loop r = 7cm = 0.07m

Mass of hoop M = 2kg

The hoop is released from rest, the initial velocity is 0m/s

A. Angular speed of the hoop after a descended of h= 80cm = 0.8m

Applying the conservation of energy

Ei + W = Ef

Where,

Ei = initial energy of the system, I.e the initial potential and kinetic energy

Ef = final energy of the system I.e the final potential and kinetic energy

W = 0, since no external force is acting on the systems

Ui + K.Ei + 0 = Uf + K.Ef

System was initially at rest, K.Ei = 0

Uf = 0 at the zero level

Then,

Mgh = ½ •Icm•w² + ½M•Vcm²

Icm = Mr², since it is circular loop

Then,

Mgh = ½ •Mr²•w² + ½M•Vcm²

M cancels out

gh = ½ •r²•w² + ½ Vcm²

Since Vcm = wr

Then, gh = ½ •r²•w² + ½ w²r²

gh = r²w²

w = √(gh/r²)

w = √(9.81 × 0.8/0.07²)

w = 40 rad/s

b. Speed at the center

Since Vcm = wr

Vcm = 40×0.07

Vcm = 2.8 m/s
