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

A 20 N south magnetic force pushes a charged particle traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s west through a 5 T magnetic field point
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

<u>Charge</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>particle</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>coulomb</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

Force, F:

{ \bf{F=BeV}}

F is magnetic force.

B is the magnetic flux density.

e is the charge of the particle.

V is the velocity

{ \sf{20 = (5 \times e \times 4)}} \\ { \sf{20e = 20}} \\ { \sf{e = 1 \: coulomb}}

2. Keith took a cube and measured the mass and volume of a
galben [10]

Answer:

<h2>6 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 36 g

volume = 6 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{36}{6}  = 6 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
