<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.

Which BEST describes the difference between speed and velocity?
kirill [66]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

Explanation :

Speed : Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object with respect to the time taken. It is a scalar quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude of an object not direction.

Velocity : Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position of an object with respect to the time. It is a vector quantity that means it tell us about the magnitude and direction of an object.

The only difference between the speed and the velocity is that the velocity tell us about magnitude and direction but speed tell us about magnitude only.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) Velocity includes rate of change and direction.

A 150 N boy rides a 60 N bicycle a total of 200 m at a constant speed. The frictional force against the forward motion of the bi
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

W = 7000 J

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use that the speed of the bicycle is constant, therefore its acceleration is zero

            F -fr = 0

            F = fr

where F is the force applied by the child

Work is defined by

           W = F. x

           W = F x cos θ

in this case the child's force is parallel to the movement, therefore the angle is zero and cos 0 = 1

           

let's calculate

           W = 35 200

           W = 7000 J

A 2290 kg car traveling to the west at 22.3 m/s slows down uniformly. How long would it take the car to come to a stop if the fo
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

5.72 s

Explanation:

From Newton's law, F = ma

The East is +ve direction, Hence,

F = +8930 N

m = 2290 kg

a = ?

8930 = 2290 × a

a = 8930/2290 = 3.90 m/s²

So, we will find the time it takes the car to stop using the equations of motion

a = 3.90 m/s²

u = initial velocity of the car = - 22.3 m/s (the velocity is to the west)

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s (since the car comes to rest)

t = time taken for the car to come to rest = ?

v = u + at

0 = - 22.3 + (3.90)(t)

3.9t = 22.3

t = 5.72 s
