Answer:

The uncertainty in the location that must be tolerated is 1.163 * 10^{-5} m

Explanation:

From the uncertainty Principle,

Δ_{y} Δ_{p} = \frac{h}{2\pi }

The momentum P_{y} = (mass of electron)(speed of electron)

                                = (9.109 * 10^{-31}kg)(995 * 10^{3} m/s)

                                = 9.0638 * 10^{-25}kgm/s

If the uncertainty is reduced to a 0.0010%, then momentum

                              = 9.068 * 10^{-30}kgm/s

Thus the uncertainty in the position would be:

                              Δ_{y} = \frac{h}{2\pi } * \frac{1}{9.068 * 10^{-30} }

                              Δ_{y} \geq  1.163 * 10^{-5}m

Why doesn’t a machine that increases force break the law of conservation of energy?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A machine in which work input equals work output. energy can be used to do work, work can be used to transfer energy. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.

A device that converts high voltages to lower voltages is a(n) ________.
AysviL [449]

Answer: A) Transformer

Explanation: A Transformer is an apparatus, device or a component in a system that is used to convert high voltage into low voltage. It is used to either increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current.

A transformer uses the basic principle of electro magnetic induction, having two or more coils, the voltage is changed from one coil to another but with thesame frequency as alternating current energy passes through them.
