Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹

This is a group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Metals

Explanation:

The group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity is known metals. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. The outer electrons in metals are loosely bound to the atom and are thus able to freely move around and conduct electricity and heat.

An astronaut on an alien planet drops a rock into a crater which is 100 meters deep. The rock hits the bottom of the crater 4 se
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>
