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

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.

All else equal, the payback period for a project will decrease whenever the_______.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

(B) cash inflows are moved earlier in time.

Explanation:

The payback period stated time-frame during which the initial amount of investment should be recovered. It is expressed in the year form

The formula to compute the payback period is shown below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

where,  

The net cash flow = annual net operating income + depreciation expenses

The payback period of the project decreases when the accumulated starting year cash flows increases that results the movement of the cash inflows earlier in time

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.

Explanation:

The continuous flow of charges is known as electricity (current). The flow of these charges are due to free or mobile electron within the atoms of the conductors. The materials which will allow current to pass through them, must have free or mobile electrons which are loosely bound to their atoms.

Thus, the correction for this question is "D"

D. Electricity will flow if the electrons are bound loosely to their atoms in the material.

If a particle with a charge of +4.3 × 10−18 C is attracted to another particle by a force of 6.5 × 10−8 N, what is the magnitude
AveGali [126]

Answer: 1.5×10^10 N/C

Explanation:

E= F/q

Where E= magnitude of the electric field

F= force of attraction

q= charge of the given body

Given F= 6.5×10^-8 N

q= 4.3× 10^-18 C

Therefore, E = 6.5×10 ^-8/ 4.3×10^-18

E = 1.5×10^10 N/C

What is the relationship between sunspots and geomagnetic storms?
shutvik [7]
Sunspots are spot like structure on the surface of sun, they are created due to geomagnetic flux which inhibits the convection of heat waves thus reducing the temperature of spot with some factor
