Answer:

<em>dV =3.39x10^-38 m/s</em>

Explanation:

Consider a 2250-lb automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 mph (miles/hour). if the position of the car is known to within 5.0 feet at the time of the measurement, what is the uncertainty in the velocity of the car?

According to the Heisenberg uncertainty law  which states tat te

product of uncertainty in position and uncertainty in momentum will be constant

\Delta x . \Delta P = \frac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x . m \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi}

Mass(automobile)= 2150 lbs

1lbs=0.453592kg so:

2250 lbs= 1020.3 kg

Uncertainty(delta X)= 5ft

1ft= 0.3048m so:

5ft= 1.524m

h= Planck's constant = 6.62606957 × 10-34 m2 kg / s

(delta V) = (delta P)/ Mass

Solving the original equation we get:

(delta V) = h/( (4pi)(Mass)(delta X) )

= (6.626X10^-34)/( (4pi)( 1020.3 kg )(1.524m)

dV =3.39x10^-38 m/s

the uncertainty in the velocity of the car is dV =3.39x10^-38 m/s

As per law of Heisenberg uncertainty law

product of uncertainty in position and uncertainty in momentum will be constant

\Delta x . \Delta P = \frac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x . m \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi}

now plug in all data

(5\times 0.3048). (2250 \times 0.454) \Delta v = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{4\pi}

\Delta v = 3.37 \times 10^{-38} m/s

So above is the uncertainty in velocity of the object

What is the maximum height a 95 W motor may vertically lift a 120 N weight in 6.2 s?
leva [86]

Answer:

a. 4.9 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must take into account that power is defined as the relationship between the work and the time in which the work is done.

P = W/t

where:

P = power = 95 [W] (units of watts)

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

t = time = 6.2 [s]

We can clear the work from the previous equation.

W = P*t

W = 95*6.2 = 589 [J]

Now we know that the work is defined by the product of the force by the distance, therefore we can express the work done with the following equation.

W = F*d

where:

F = force = 120 [N] (units of Newtons)

d = distance [m]

d = W/F

d = 589/120

d = 4.9 [m]
