Answer:

198 ms-1

Explanation:

According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle; it is not possible to simultaneously measure the momentum and position of a particle with precision.

The uncertainty associated with each measurement is given by;

∆x∆p≥h/4π

Where;

∆x = uncertainty in the measurement of position

∆p = uncertainty in the measurement of momentum

h= Plank's constant

But ∆p= mΔv

And;

m= 1.770×10^-27 kg

∆x = 0.15 nm

Making ∆v the subject of the formula;

∆v≥h/m∆x4π

∆v≥ 6.6 ×10^-34/1.770×10^-27 × 1.5×10^-10 ×4×3.142

∆v≥198 ms-1

An iron railroad rail is 800 ft long when the temperature is 31°C. What is its length (in ft) when the temperature is −17°C?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

799.54 ft

Explanation:

Linear thermal expansion is:

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

where ΔL is the change in length,

α is the linear thermal expansion coefficient,

L₀ is the original length,

and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Given:

α = 1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C

L₀ = 800 ft

ΔT = -17°C − 31°C = -48°C

Find: ΔL

ΔL = (1.2×10⁻⁵ / °C) (800 ft) (-48°C)

ΔL = -0.4608

Rounded to two significant figures, the change in length is -0.46 ft.

Therefore, the final length is approximately 800 ft − 0.46 ft = 799.54 ft.

An object moving with a speed or 67m/s and has kinetic energy of 500 J what is the mass of the object
saveliy_v [14]
To solve this equation, simply plug the values into the equation for calculating kinetic energy.

KE = 1/2mv^2
500 = 1/2(m)(67^2)
500 =2244.5m
m = 500/2244.5 = 0.222 kg.

A tennis player swings and hits the ball away. How does the force of the tennis racket affect the motion of the ball
defon

The force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

<h3>Impulse received by the ball</h3>

The impulse received by the ball through the racket affects the motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

The ball which is initially at rest, will gain momentum after been hit with the racket.

J = ΔP = Ft

where;

  • J is the impulse received by the ball
  • ΔP is change in momentum of the ball
  • F is the applied force
  • t is the time of action

Thus, the force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.
