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)

Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, t
user100 [1]

Answer:

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this diffraction problem they tell us that it is equivalent to the diffraction of a single slit, which is explained by the equation

<h3>       a sin θ =±  m λ </h3><h3 />

Where the different temrs are: “a” the width of the hair, λ the wavelength, θ the angle from the center, m the order of diffraction, which is the number of bright rings (constructive diffraction)  

We can see that the diffraction angle is missing, but we can find it by trigonometry, where L is the distance of the strand of hair to the observation screen and "y" is the perpendicular distance to the first minimum of intensity

        L = 1.25 m 100 cm/1m   = 125 cm

       y = 5.06 cm  

      Tan θ = y/L

      Tan θ = 5.06/125

      θ = tan⁻¹ ( 0.0405)

      θ =  2.32º

With this data we can continue analyzing the problem, they indicate that they measure the distance to the first dark strip, thus m = 1

     a = m λ / sin θ

     a = 1 633 10⁻⁹ 1.25/sin 2.3

     a = 1.96 10⁻⁵ m  

     a = 0.0196 mm

The width of the strand of hair is   1.96 10⁻⁵ m

_____ is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies which are at different temperatures. The si unit for this is the joul
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

The thermal energy is usually defined as a heat energy that occurs due to the increase in temperature. Due to this increasing temperature, the atoms, as well as the molecules, start to migrate at a much faster rate and rapid collisions occur with one another.

This temperature change that is involved in this process can be measured.

Thus, in thermal energy, heat (heat energy) is transferred from one body to another at different distinct temperatures.

The SI unit of heat is Joule.

Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U.<br><br><br> K=GMm/2R
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U
