An electron in an atom has an uncertainty of 0.2 nm. If it is doubled to 0.4 nm by what factor does the uncertainty in momentum

change?

Answer:

The uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

Explanation:

By Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, ΔpΔx ≥ h/2π where Δp = uncertainty in momentum and Δx = uncertainty in position = 0.2 nm. The uncertainty in momentum is thus Δp ≥ h/2πΔx. If the uncertainty in position is doubled, that is Δx₁ = 2Δx = 0.4 nm, the uncertainty in momentum Δp₁ now becomes Δp₁ ≥ h/2πΔx₁ = h/2π(2Δx) = (h/2πΔx)/2 = Δp/2.

So, the uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

What is the electric force on a proton 2.5 fm from the surface of the nucleus? hint: treat the spherical nucleus as a point char
Whitepunk [10]
In this case, you need the formula below where:

F = force
k = coulombs constant 8.99 x10^{9} N.m^{2} . C^{-2}
q1 = electric charge 1
q2 = electric charge 2
r = the distance between the charges

F = k((q1.q2)/r^{2})

pls note: make sure your units are correct (in meters etc, not fm (<em>femto-meters</em>)).

Curiously, this question doesn't tell you what atom you are next to the nucleus of. Different numbers of protons in the nucleus of the atom will make for vastly different forces in your answer...

IRINA_888 [86]

During a rodeo, a clown runs 7.7 m north, turns 49.9 degrees east of north, and runs 6.4 m. Then after waiting for the bull to come near, the clown turns due east and runs 19.8 m to exit the arena. The magnitude of the clown’s displacement is 27 m.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As the clown is running in the north direction for about 7.7 m and then he turns 49.9 degrees east of north. In the east of north, he covers a distance of 6.4 m and then turns east to exit the arena after covering a distance of 19.8 m. Let’s have a simple diagram to easily understand the problem.

In first step, the clown runs 7.7 m in north direction, so the image will be  as in fig 1. Then he takes a direction of north east and covers a distance of 6.4 m, so the image will be modified as in fig 2. Then after the bull comes, he turns east and runs 19.8 m to exit the arena, so the image will be as in figure 3.

So, the extension of North line and the East line at a point shown as the dotted line in the above image, forms the total displacement as the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle. The extended dotted lines is nothing but the horizontal and vertical components of the angle 49.9 degree.

By using Pythagoras theorem, the total displacement can be found as

\text { Total displacement }=\sqrt{(o p p)^{2}+(a d j)^{2}}

\text { Distance covered by the clown in east direction }=(6.4 \times \cos 49.9)+19.8=23.9 \mathrm{m}

Similarly, the adjacent side of this imaginary triangle is the distance covered by the clown in the North direction.

\text { Distance covered by the clown in north direction }=6.4 \sin 49.9+7.7=12.6 \mathrm{m}

Thus, the total displacement covered by the clown is

\text { Total displacement }=\sqrt{(23.9)^{2}+(12.6)^{2}}=\sqrt{571.21+158.76}=\sqrt{729.97}=27 \mathrm{m}

Thus, the total displacement by the clown is 27 m.
