Answer:

The body acts under the influence of gravity.

Explanation:

An object experiencing free fall is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the acceleration due gravity is positive for any falling object. The body is able to fall freely due to the effect of gravity on it. This gravity effect causes the body to get attracted to the earth's gravitational surface due to gravitational pull exerted on the body.

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide (about the size of an atomic nucleus). What's the minimum uncertainty in its velocity?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Minimum uncertainty in velocity of a proton, $\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide, $\Delta x=10^{-15}\ m$

We need to find the minimum uncertainty in its velocity. We know that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle gives the uncertainty between position and the momentum such that,

$\Delta p.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

Since, p = mv

$\Delta (mv).\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$m \Delta v.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta v\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi m\Delta x}$

$\Delta v\ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 10^{-15}}$

$\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$

So, the minimum uncertainty in its velocity is greater than $3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statement about the atomic nucleus is correct? a. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons and has a negative charge. b

Anon25 [30]

"b. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons and has a positive charge" is the only option that is true about the atomic nucleus. The protons give it a positive charge.

Why do objects repel and attract?

Anarel [89]

Objects repel and attract because of a thing called electrostatic attraction. When objects have the same charge (positive or negative), then they will repel, and if they have opposite charges then they will attract

The Earth and Moon are separated by about 4.0 10^6 m. Suppose Mars is [{MathJax fullWidth='false' 2.9 \times 10^{11} }] m from E

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.
