Rutherford's scattering experiments gave the first indications that an atom consists of a small, dense, positively charged nucle

us surrounded by negatively charged electrons. His experiments also allowed for a rough determination of the size of the nucleus. In this problem, you will use the uncertainty principle to get a rough idea of the kinetic energy of a particle inside the nucleus.
Consider a nucleus with a diameter of roughly 5.0×10−15 meters.

Part A

Consider a particle inside the nucleus. The uncertainty Δx in its position is equal to the diameter of the nucleus. What is the uncertainty Δp of its momentum? To find this, use ΔxΔp≥ℏ2where ℏ=h2π.

Express your answer in kilogram-meters per second to two significant figures.

You did not open hints for this part.

ANSWER:

Δp = kg⋅m/s

The uncertainty on the momentum is 1.1\cdot 10^{-20} kg m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the uncertainty principle, which states that:

\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}

where

\Delta x is the uncertainty on the position

\Delta p is the uncertainty on the momentum

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant

For the nucleus in this problem, the uncertainty on the position is equal to the size of the nucleus, therefore

\Delta x = 5.0\cdot 10^{-15} m

Therefore we can substitute into the equation and solve for \Delta p to find the uncertainty on the momentum:

\Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34}}{4\pi (5.0\cdot 10^{-15})}=1.1\cdot 10^{-20} kg m/s

3. A bottle of vitamin C contains 100 tablets and weighs 80 g. If the
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a

0.57g

b

20.52

c

28.5

Explanation:

a

The bottle weighs 80g with tablets

If the bottle alone weighs 23g, the tablets weigh 57g

100 tablets weigh 57g, 1 tablet weighs 0.57g

b

0.57g is one tablet, so to achieve 36 tablets we must multiply by 36

0.57 multiplied by 36 is 20.52

c

To find 50 tablets we can use the same method we used before or a slightly faster method

100 tablets is 57g, so all we have to do is halve to find 50

57 divided by 2 is 28.5

<span>Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue. 2. absorb emitted neutrons control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction. 3. mass of unstable atoms nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor. 4. concrete and lead enclosure shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment. 5. energy transfer medium coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.</span>

The cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected and atmospheric pressure
jok3333 [9.3K]

Less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape from the open cylinder valve.

Cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane because of higher pressures.

<h3>What are compressed gases?</h3>

Compressed gases are gases which are compressed under high pressure in gas cylinders.

Cylinder valves are used to reduce the pressure of the compressed gases and in the process, some of the gas molecules escape.

Since the cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected at atmospheric pressure, less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape.

Since, the carbon dioxide not liquefy under pressure compared to butane, the cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane.
