<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.

Answer:

B.C. D. G.

Explanation:

A vector quantity, has both magnitude and direction. A tip to remember is if you can add a direction to it! You wouldnt say 30 pounds north, but you would say 30 mph north.

The surface of the Sun has a temperature of about 5 800 K. If the radius of the Sun is 7 × 108 m, determine the power output of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a. 3.95\times10^{26}W

Explanation:

T = temperature of the surface of sun = 5800 K

r = Radius of the Sun = 7 x 10⁸ m

A = Surface area of the Sun

Surface area of the sun is given as

A = 4\pi r^{2} \\A = 4(3.14) (7\times10^{8})^{2}\\A = 6.2\times10^{18} m^{2}

e = Emissivity = 1

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Using Stefan's law, Power output of the sun is given as

P = \sigma e AT^{4} \\P = (5.67\times10^{-8}) (1) (6.2\times10^{18}) (5800)^{4}\\P = 3.95\times10^{26} W

A 6kg sled sliding on an icy surface experiences a 6-N frictional force exerted by the ice and the air resistive force of 0.6 N.
White raven [17]

The net force on the sled is 6.6 N pointing backwards, opposite to the direction it's sliding. That's why it's slowing down, and will eventually stop.
