Consider a golf ball with a mass of 45.9 grams traveling at 200 km/hr. If an experiment is designed to measure the position of t

he golf ball at some instant of time with a precision of 1 mm, then what will be the uncertainty in the speed of the golf ball? What percentage of the speed of the golf ball does this uncertainty represent?

Answer:

speed of golf ball is 1.15 × 10^{-30} m/s

and % of uncertainty in speed =  2.07 × 10^{-30} %

Explanation:

given data

mass = 45.9 gram = 0.0459 kg

speed = 200 km/hr = 55.5 m/s

uncertainty position Δx = 1 mm = 10^{-3} m

to find out

speed of the golf ball and  % of speed of the golf ball

solution

we will apply here heisenberg uncertainty principle that is

uncertainty position ×uncertainty momentum ≥ \frac{h}{4\pi }    ......1

Δx × ΔPx  ≥ \frac{h}{4\pi }

here uncertainty momentum ΔPx = mΔVx

and uncertainty velocity = ΔVx

and h = 6.626 × 10^{-34} Js

so put here all these value in equation 1

10^{-3} × 0.0459 × ΔVx =  \frac{6.626*10^{-34}}{4\pi }

ΔVx = 1.15 × 10^{-30} m/s

and

so % of uncertainty in speed = ΔV / m

% of uncertainty in speed =  1.15 × 10^{-30}  / 55.5

% of uncertainty in speed =  2.07 × 10^{-30} %

How much energy (in kW-h) does a 900 Watt stove use in a week if it is used for 1.5 hours each day?
ioda

Answer:

9.45 kWh

Explanation:

Energy = Power × time

E = 900 W × (1.5 h/day × 7 day)

E = 9450 Wh

E = 9.45 kWh

A 60​-m-long chain hangs vertically from a cylinder attached to a winch. Assume there is no friction in the system and that the
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

part (a). 176580 J

part (b). 197381 J

Explanation:

Given,

  • Density of the chain = \rho\ =\ 10\ kg/m.
  • Length of the chain = L = 60 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.81 m/s^2

part (a)

Let dy be the small element of the chain at a distance of 'y' from the ground.

mass of the small element of the chain = \rho dy

Work done due to the small element,

dw\ =\ \rho g (60\ -\ y)dy\\

Total work done to wind the entire chain = w

w\ =\ \displaystyle\int_{0}^{L} \rho g(60\ -\ y)dy\\\Rightarrow  w\ =\ \rho g\left |(60y\ -\ \dfrac{y^2}{2})\ \right |_{0}^{60}\\\Rightarrow w\ =\ 10\times 9.81\times (60\times 60\ -\ \dfrac{60^2}{2})\\\Rightarrow w\ =\ 176580\ J

part (b)

  • mass of the block connected to the chain = m = 35 kg

Total work done to wind the chain = work done due to the chain + work done due to the mass

\therefore W\ =\ w\ +\ mgL\\\Rightarrow W\ =\ 176580\ +\ 35\times 9.81\times 60\\\Rightarrow W\ =\ 176580\ +\ 20601\\\Rightarrow W\ =\ 197381\ J

1. If you add air to a flat tire through a single small entry hole, why does the air spread out to fill the tire?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The tire fills up just like anything else that holds air when u pump a ball or tire up it fills all the way up cause it is a small confined space and after filling it with air the atoms of the air fill the tire up
