For two un-related quantities, the Heisenberg uncertainty equations holds: the prduct of the two uncertainty quantities is greater than \hbar/2
Example of unrelated quantities are position and momentum, energy and time. 
Thus
\Delta x*\Delta p  \ \textgreater \ \hbar/2
Knowing the speed of the bacteria the uncertainty in its position is
\Delta x \ \textgreater \ \hbar/(2 \Delta p) =\hbar/(2mv)

An ice skater of mass m = 60 kg coasts at a speed of v = 0.8 m/s past a pole. At the distance of closest approach, her center of
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

1.78 rad/s

1.70344 rad/s

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 0.8 m/s

m = Mass of person = 60 kg

r_1 = Distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.45 m

r_2 = New distance between center of mass of person and pole = 0.46 m

I = Moment of inertia

Angular speed is given by

\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=\dfrac{0.8}{0.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega_1=1.78\ rad/s

The angular speed is 1.78 rad/s

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

L_1=L_2\\\Rightarrow I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow mr_1^2\omega_1=mr_2^2\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{r_1^2\omega_1}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\dfrac{0.45^2\times 1.78}{0.46^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=1.70344\ rad/s

The new angular speed is 1.70344 rad/s

The magnetic field at 8 cm distance from a long straight wire, carrying is 0.2x10^-5 T. How much is the electric current in the
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Explanation:

We solve this problem by applying the formula of the magnetic field generated at a distance by a long and straight conductor wire that carries electric current, as follows:

B=\frac{2\pi*a }{u*I}

B= Magnetic field due to a straight and long wire that carries current

u= Free space permeability

I= Electrical current passing through the wire

a  = Perpendicular distance from the wire to the point where the magnetic field is located

Magnetic Field Calculation

We cleared (I) of the formula (1):

I=\frac{2\pi*a*B }{u} Formula(2)

B=0.2*10^{-5}  T = 0.2*10^{-5} \frac{weber}{m^{2} }

a  =8cm=0.08m

u=4*\pi *10^{-7} \frac{Weber}{A*m}

We replace the known information in the formula (2)

I=\frac{2\pi*0.08*0.2*10^{-5}  }{4\pi *10x^{-7} }

I=0.8 A

Answer: The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A
