<span>A very simple example is the light bulb question. If the light bulb in your room goes out, scientific reasoning will first attribute it to a short circuit. Then, after setting up the hypothesis, we go and check if changing the fuse solves the problem. if not, the hypothesis is rejected and we change the hypothesis and do another experiment.</span>

The wave function of a particle is exp(i(kx-omegat)), where x is distance, t is time, and k and co are positive real numbers. Th

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Momentum, $p=\hbar k$

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle is given by :

$y=exp[i(kx-\omega t)]$ ...............(1)

Where

x is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

k is the propagation constant

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

The relation between the momentum and wavelength is given by :

$p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}$ ............(2)

From equation (1),

$k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{k}$

Use above equation in equation (2) as :

$p=\dfrac{h k}{2\pi }$

Since, $\dfrac{h}{2\pi}=\hbar$

$p=\hbar k$

So, the x-component of the momentum of the particle is $\hbar k$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The Huka Falls on the Waikato River is one of New Zealand's most visited natural tourist attractions. On average, the river has

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

(a) V = 0.75 m/s

(b) V = 0.125 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the flow of the river can be given by following formula:

V = Q/A

V = Q/w d

where,

V = Speed of Flow of River

Q = Volume Flow Rate of River

w = width of river

d = depth of river

A = Area of Cross-Section of River = w d

(a)

Here,

Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s

w = 20 m

d = 20 m

Therefore,

V = (300 m³/s)/(20 m)(20 m)

<u>V = 0.75 m/s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Here,

Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s

w = 60 m

d = 40 m

Therefore,

V = (300 m³/s)/(60 m)(40 m)

<u>V = 0.125 m/s</u>

How much Power is needed to lift a 200 N block

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

10 W

Explanation:

P = F x v

F = 200N

v = x2 - x1 / t

= 6 - 3 / 60

= 3 / 60

= 1 / 20

= 0.05 m/s

P = 200 x 1/20

= 10 W
