Answer:

c. probablistic view of nature.

Explanation:

According to the problem of particle in a box in one dimension. If the particle energy E is taken less than the height of the barrier V.

Then with the help of classical mechanics it can be prove that the particle can not cross the barrier but according to the quantum mechanics, there is a small but a finite probability to cross the barrier.

Therefore by the above discussion it can be concluded that quantum mechanics can be thought as a probablistic view of nature.

An object travels along a straight, horizontal surface with an initial speed of 2 ms. The position of the object as a function o

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The options are not provided, so i will answer in a general way.

We know that:

The movement is along a straight horizontal surface, then we have one-dimensional motion.

The speed is 2m/s

We want a graph of position vs time.

Now, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time

Then we can write the position as a function of time as:

P(t) = 2m/s*t + P0

Where t is our variable, that represents time in seconds, and P0 is the position at time t = 0seconds, we can assume that this is zero.

Then the equation is:

P(t) = 2m/s*t

And the graph is something like:

What is the voltage across an 8.00 nm–thick membrane if the electric field strength across it is 5.50 MV/m?

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

0.044 V

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $5.5\times 10^6\ V/m$

d = Thickness of membrane = 8 nm

When the electric field strength is multiplied by the membrane thickness we get the voltage

Voltage across a gap is given by

$V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=5.5\times 10^6\times 8\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow V=0.044\ V$

The voltage across the membrane is 0.044 V

A distorted 1kHz sine wave is represented by the equation: LaTeX: v(t) = 5sin(2 \pi 1000t) + 0.05sin(2 \pi 3000t)v ( t ) = 5 s i

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

As given in the problem statement

frequency=1 KHz=1*10^3 Hz

V(t) is represented as

v(t) = 5sin(2 \pi 1000t) + 0.05sin(2 \pi 3000t)

v ( t ) = 5 s i n ( 2 π 1000 t ) + 0.05 s i n ( 2 π 3000 t )

Total harmonic distortion will be 234 Pi

Classify each process according to whether it does or does not produce a new substance.

AlexFokin [52]

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.

Given:

The following process:

cooking an egg
melting ice
fireworks exploding
evaporating puddle of water
rusting of a metal tool
Dissolving of salt in water

To find:

The classify the processes in whether it does or does not produce a new substance.

Solution:

Chemical change is the change when a new substance is formed due to a change in the chemical composition of the substance.
Physical change is the change in which no change in chemical composition takes place and the identity of the substance remains the same.

Cooking an egg

Chemical change, due to change in atomic arrangement egg get solidified on cooking, a new substance is formed.

Melting ice

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from solid to liquid, no new substance is formed.

Firework exploding

Chemical change. formation of carbon dioxide gas and sound energy, anew substance formed

Evaporating puddle of water

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from liquid to gas, no new substance is formed.

Rusting of metal tool

Chemical change, formation of oxides on the surface of the metal tool due to reaction between air and metal, a new substance is formed.

Dissolving of salt in water

Physical change, ions of salt in the solid state are changing into aqueous ions with no formation of new substance, no new substance is formed.

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.

How much work is done in holding a 10 newton sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the grocery store for 3 minutes.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

W = F × s

F = 10 N,

t = 3min = 180sec

s = 0( no change in postion)

W = 10 ×0

W = 0
