Answer:

The minimum uncertainty in its position is 1.1587 nm

Explanation:

Given;

average speed of electron, v = 5.00 × 10⁶ m/s

percentage of speed uncertainty = 1%

Δv = 0.01( 5.00 × 10⁶ m/s) = 5.00 × 10⁴ m/s

Applying Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, to determine the uncertainty in its position.

ΔxΔP ≥ h/4π

Δx(mΔv)  ≥ h/4π

Δx = h/4πmΔv

where;

Δx is uncertainty in its position

h is Planck's constant

m is mass of electron

Δx ≥ \frac{6.626 *10^{-34}}{4\pi *9.1*10^{-31}*5*10^4} = 1.1587*10^{-9} \ m

Δx ≥ 1.1587 nm

Therefore, the minimum uncertainty in its position is 1.1587 nm

The volume of an object as a function of time is V(t) = At³, where A is a constant. Let L and T denote dimensions of length and
Greeley [361]

Answer:

c) L³/T³

Explanation:

If t stands for time, the units are:

(V) = L³, (t) = T

The units for the equation:

V(t) = At³

must be:

L^{3} = \frac{L^{3} }{T^{3}} T^{3}

Convertir 1200 ms a cs<br> Convertir 0,3 mm a cm.
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

You can do the reverse unit conversion from cm/s to m/s, or enter any two units below: Metre per second (U.S. spelling: meter per second) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.

The time constant for RC circuit with the values of R1 and C1 is 5ms. What will be the time constant for a new RC circuit with t
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

d. 25 ms

Explanation:

  • In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:

       \tau_{1} = R_{1} *C_{1}  = 5 ms (1)

  • If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:

       \tau_{2} =10* R_{1} *0.5*C_{1}  = 5*(R_{1}* C_{1}) = 5* \tau_{1} = 5* 5 ms = 25 ms (2)
