Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx  is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x  4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x  4 π

≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥  . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ  

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ  

longest wave length = 12.56 n m

If 1 meter = 3.28 feet, what is the height of the Washington Monument in meters?
jasenka [17]
Since you didn't provide how tall the Monument was, I took the liberty to find it and it is 555 feet tall. So to convert to meters we must divide 555 by 3.28 or multiply it by 0.3048 (this is the method I used).
555 x 0.3048 = 169.164 meters

A flat horizontal surface with an area of 518 cm^2 is inside a uniform electric field of 1.33 x 10^4 N/C. The angle between the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: 576.48 N*m^2/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric flux through the any surface we have to take into account the scalar product between the electric field vector and the normal vector to the surface.

So we have:

ФE= E*A= 1.33 * 10^4*0.0518* cos (33.2°)= 576.48 N*m^2/C

A force of 55N accelerates a 7.5kg wagon at 5.3 m/s^2 along a road. How large is the frictional force?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h2>15.25 N</h2>

Explanation:

       A force of 55\text{ }N is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights 7.5\text{ }kg. Acceleration of the wagon is given as 5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

       Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.

       Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.

       Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon \times Acceleration of wagon

       F_{ext}-F_{friction}=(7.5\text{ }kg)\times(5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}})=39.75\text{ }N\\55\text{ }N-F_{friction}=39.75\text{ }N\\F_{friction}=15.25\text{ }N

F_{friction} has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.

∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N
