Answer:

Therefore the answer is the precision in the speed DECREASES

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics, we have the uncertainty principle that establishes that when the accuracy of the position increases the accuracy  the speed decreases, being related by the expression

               Δx Δv ≥  h'/ 2

                h' = h/2π

Therefore the answer is the precision in the speed DECREASES

A physics major is working to pay her college tuition by performing in a traveling carnival. She rides a motorcycle inside a hol
il63 [147K]

Answer:

v = 12.1 m/s

Explanation:

  • When at the top of the circle, there are two forces acting on the combined mass of the rider and the motorcycle.
  • These are the force of gravity (downward) and the normal force, which is directed from the surface away from it, perpendicular to the surface.
  • In this case, as the motorcycle runs in the interior of the circle, at the top point this force is completely vertical, and is also downward.
  • Since the motorcycle is moving in a vertical circle, there must be a force, keeping the object moving around a circle.
  • This force is the centripetal force, aims towards the center of the circle, and is just the net force aiming in this direction at any point.
  • At the top point, this force is just the sum of the normal force and the weight of the mass of the rider and the motorcycle combined, as follows (we take the direction towards the center as positive):

       F_{c} = N + m*g (1)

  • Now, we know that the centripetal force is related with the tangential speed at this point and the radius of the circle as follows:

       F_{c} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)

  • Since the normal force takes any value as needed to make (1) equal to (2),  if the speed diminishes, it will be needed less force to keep the equality valid.
  • In the limit, when the motorcyvle tires barely touch the surface, this normal force becomes zero.
  • In this condition, from (1) and (2), we can find the minimum possible value of  the speed that still keeps the motorcycle touching the surface, as follows:
  • v_{min} =\sqrt{r*g} =\sqrt{15.0m*9.8m/s2} = 12.1 m/s (3)

An atom of carbon has a radius of 67.0 pm and the average orbital speed of the electrons in it is about 1.3 x 10⁶ m/s.
adoni [48]

Answer :

The least possible uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, 4.32\times 10^{5}m/s

The percentage of the average speed is, 33 %

Explanation :

According to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,

\Delta x\times \Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi} ...........(1)

where,

\Delta x = uncertainty in position

\Delta p = uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant

And as we know that the momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object.

p=m\times v

or,

\Delta p=m\times \Delta v      .......(2)

Equating 1 and 2, we get:

\Delta x\times m\times \Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x\times m}

Given:

m = mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}kg

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

radius of atom = 67.0pm=67.0\times 10^{-12}m     (1pm=10^{-12}m)

\Delta x = diameter of atom = 2\times 67.0\times 10^{-12}m=134.0\times 10^{-12}m

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\Delta v=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{4\times 3.14\times (134.0\times 10^{-12}m)\times (9.11\times 10^{-31}kg)}

\Delta v=4.32\times 10^{5}m/s

The minimum uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, 4.32\times 10^{5}m/s

Now we have to calculate the percentage of the average speed.

Percentage of average speed = \frac{\text{Uncertainty in speed}}{\text{Average speed}}\times 100

Uncertainty in speed = 4.32\times 10^{5}m/s

Average speed = 1.3\times 10^{6}m/s

Percentage of average speed = \frac{4.32\times 10^{5}m/s}{1.3\times 10^{6}m/s}\times 100

Percentage of average speed = 33.2 % ≈ 33 %

Thus, the percentage of the average speed is, 33 %
