If you precisely measure the position of a particle, you

<h2>Answer: destroy all information about its speed or momentum</h2>

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle postulates that the fact that <u>each particle has a wave associated with it</u>, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine its <u>position</u> and <u>speed</u> at the same time.  

In other words:  

<h2>It is impossible to measure <u>simultaneously </u>(according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle.  </h2>

So, the greater certainty is seeked in determining the position of a particle, the less is known its linear momentum and, therefore, its mass and velocity.  

It should be noted that this uncertainty does not derive from the measurement instruments, but from the measurement itself. Because, even with the most precise devices, the uncertainty in the measurement continues to exist.  

Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.

A temperature measuring device should be placed in the __________ area of the refrigerated holding unit.
STatiana [176]
<span>A temperature measuring device should be placed in the "warmest" area of the refrigerated holding unit. The reason for this is because all foods must be stored in the minimum temperature required. If not stored properly the foods become hazardous. It is important to place the thermometer in the accurate location in reference to this question it is in the warmest location. The reasoning behind this is that if placed in the coldest location it may not represent an accurate temperature based on the entire unit.</span>

What would be the magnitude of a
Pavlova-9 [17]

The magnitude of a velocity vector is 60 m/s.

To find the magnitude, the given values are,

x - components = 36 m/s

y - components = 48 m/s

<h3>What is magnitude?</h3>
  • The term magnitude can be defined as “ quantity ”.
  • For instance, the magnitude can be used for describing about the comparison of speeds.
  • It can also be used to explain the distance travelled by an object or to explain the amount of an object in terms of its magnitude.
  • Magnitude of the velocity vector is total value which is square root of the value.

The magnitude of the vector can be,

| a | = √ ( x² + y² )

Substituting the values of x component and y component given,

      = √ ( 36² + 48² )

      = √ ( 1296 + 2304)

      = √ 3600

      = 60 m/s

The magnitude is found to be 60 m/s.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Explain how does a convex lens produce real image from virtual object​
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Real images are formed where rays of light actually converge, whereas virtual images occur with they are perceived to converge. Real images can be produced by passing light through converging lenses or with a concave mirror of some sort.

Explanation:

hope that helped a little :)

Anika asks Eva to roll a basketball and then a bowling ball to her. Which requires more force to roll, and why?
Paul [167]

It's easy to roll the the basket ball than bowling ball

It is because bowling ball is solid spherical ball which will have less moment of inertia

its moment of inertia is given as

I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2

While for the hollow ball like basketball we know that moment of inertia is given as

I' = \frac{2}{3}mR^2

so here we can see for the same mass if we take basketball then its moment of inertia is more so it is easy to roll basket ball then to roll bowling ball.

So it is easy to roll basket ball then rolling ball
