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

Assume a change at the source of sound reduces the wavelength of a sound wave in air by a factor of 3.
noname [10]

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda ......(1)

(i) Here, the wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3. Equation (1) becomes :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So, if wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3, then the frequency will increases by a factor of 3.

(ii) It remains the same.

A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60
german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

m_1 = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

v_1 = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

m_2 = Mass of person = 60 kg

v_2 = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s
