<h2>Answer: The more precisely you know the position of a particle, the less well you can know the momentum of the particle </h2>

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle was enunciated in 1927. It postulates that the fact that each particle has a wave associated with it, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine <u>its position and speed at the same time.  </u>

In other words:  

<em>It is impossible to measure simultaneously (according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle.</em>  

<h2>So, the greater certainty is seeked in determining the position of a particle, the less is known its linear momentum and, therefore, its mass and velocity.  </h2><h2 />

In fact, even with the most precise devices, the uncertainty in the measurement continues to exist. Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.  

Therefore the correct option is C.

Draw position time graph when speed is increasing​
DedPeter [7]

Explanation:

We need to draw position-time graph when the speed is increasing.

The slope of position-time graph gives the speed of an object.

Position means distance covered.

When the speed of an object is increasing with time. It means it is moving with increasing speed.

The attached figure shows the position -time graph when speed is increasing​.

The net force acting on the ball below is ___ N
yKpoI14uk [10]

The net force applied to the object equals the mass of the object multiplied by the amount of its acceleration." The net force acting on the soccer ball is equal to the mass of the soccer ball multiplied by its change in velocity each second (its acceleration).
