Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

In quantum physics there is a law to relate the position and the momentum of the particle, it says that if we know with precision where is a quantum particle, we can not know the momentum of this particle, in other words, the velocity of the particle. So, when we measure the velocity of the particle we find the correct value of the particle, but we can not determine with accuracy where is the particle. This law is known as the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and, its expressed as follows:

$\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}$

where Δx: is the position's uncertainty, Δp: is the momentum's uncertainty and h: is the Planck constant.

Therefore, the correct answer is A: measuring the velocity of a tiny particle with an electromagnet has no effect on the velocity of the particle. It only affects the determination of the particle's position.

I hope it helps you!

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl

Sergeu [11.5K]

Question: Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon $m_1$ and the mass of the basket $m_2$ , then according to newton's second law:

$(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a$ ,

where $a =0.265m/s^2$ is the upward acceleration, and $F = 688N$ is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension $T$ in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

$(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8$

and this tension must equal

$T -m_2g =m_2a$

$(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a$

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

$m_2a = 79.8$

since $a =0.265m/s^2$ , we have

$\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}$

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of $F$ and $a$ , we get:

$688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)$

$\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}$

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is 2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.

How many electrons are depicted in the electron dot diagram of an electrically neutral nitrogen atom? A. two B. six C. eight D.

goldenfox [79]

Answer is D - five.

Explanation;

- Electron dot diagrams show the valence electrons around the element by using dots.

- Valence electrons are the electrons which are in outermost shell of the atom.

-The atomic number of the N atom is 7.

Atomic number = number of protons = 7

If the atom is neutral,

number of protons = number of electrons.

Hence, N atom has 7 electrons.

- The electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³.

Hence, N atom has 2 + 3 = 5 valence electrons. So, five electrons are represented in electron dot diagram of N.

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?

Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

Determine the acceleration due to gravity for low Earth orbit (LEO) given: MEarth = 6.00 x 1024 kg, rEarth = 6.40 x 106 m, G = 6

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The answer to the question is as follows

The acceleration due to gravity for low for orbit is 9.231 m/s²

Explanation:

The gravitational force is given as

$F_{G}= \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2} }$

Where $F_{G}$ = Gravitational force

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ $\frac{Nm^{2} }{kg^{2} }$

m₁ = mEarth = mass of Earth = 6×10²⁴ kg

m₂ = The other mass which is acted upon by $F_{G}$ and = 1 kg

rEarth = The distance between the two masses = 6.40 x 10⁶ m

therefore at a height of 400 km above the erth we have

r = 400 + rEarth = 400 + 6.40 x 10⁶ m = 6.80 x 10⁶ m

and $F_{G}$ = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11} *6.40*10^{24} *1}{(6.8*10^{6})^{2} }$ = 9.231 N

Therefore the acceleration due to gravity = $F_{G}$ /mass

9.231/1 or 9.231 m/s²

Therefore the acceleration due to gravity at 400 kn above the Earth's surface is 9.231 m/s²

What happens to the temperature during an endothermic reaction? ANSWERS; The temperature stays constant. The temperature will de

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature will decrease (get colder).

Explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. The enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products and the sum of heat contents of reactants.

For an endothermic change, heat is absorbed for the reaction.
The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction and so is the reaction itself.
The right choice is that the temperature will decrease.
