Answer:

\Delta p_x=7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along the x-axis is, \Delta x=68\ pm=68\times 10^{-12}\ m

We need to find the east uncertainty in any simultaneous measurement of the momentum component of this electron.

We know that the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle gives the relation between the uncertainty in position and the momentum of electron as :

\Delta p_x{\cdot}\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi }

Putting all the values, we get :

\Delta p_x{\cdot}\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}\\\\\Delta p_x \ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 68\times 10^{-12}}\\\\\Delta p_x\ge 7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s

So, the momentum component of this electrons is greater than 7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s.

Which force is always directed toward the center of a circle?
vova2212 [387]
The answer is D. centripetal force
This definition of centripetal force is a force acting towards the center of an object moving in a circular motion. Acceleration is the rate of which velocity changes over a period of time. If you pick a point on say a rotating circle and find the tangential velocity at each point it goes through, the acceleration would be towards the middle.

The ball should take twice as long to return to its original position as it took to reach its maximum height, so it should return to its original position at t=2.8\,\rm s.

A body of mass 5kg is ejected vertically from the ground when a force of 600N acts on it for 0.1s. Calculate the velocity with w
love history [14]

Assuming g=10N

upward force=600N(applied force)

downward force=(W)=(5x10)=50N

net force=600-50

=550N

F=(delta)P/t

(delta)P=m (v-u)

u=0m/s

(delta)P=mv

550=(5)(v)/0.1

550x0.1

55=5v

v=11m/s
