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

Do you remember this formula for the distance traveled while accelerated ?

<u>Distance = (initial speed) x (t)  plus  (1/2) x (acceleration) x (t²)</u>

I think this is exactly what we need for this problem.

initial speed = 20 m/s down
acceleration = 9.81 m/s² down
t = 3.0 seconds

Distance down = (20) x (3)  plus  (1/2) x (9.81) x (3)²

Distance = (60)  plus  (4.905) x (9)

Distance = (60)  plus  (44.145)  =  104.145 meters

Choice  <em>D)</em>  is the closest one.

An organ pipe of length 3.0 m has one end closed. The longest and next-longest possible wavelengths for standing waves inside th
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength for closed at one end and open at the other is

y / 4      where y is the wavelength - that is node - antinode

The next possible wavelength is 3 y / 4 -    node - antinode - node -antinode

y / 4 = 3 m     y = 12 meters    the longest wavelength

3 y / 4 = 3 m      y = 4 meters   1 / 3 times as long
