Explanation:
Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)
Time, t = 2.1 s
(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :
F = 0.607 N
(b) Area of wall,
Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :
P = 0.202 Pa
Hence, this is the required solution.
According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, both the “position and velocity of the particle” cannot be measured exactly at the same time. The momentum of the particle equals the product of its mass and velocity. And it can be inferred that the “product of the uncertainties” in the “momentum and the position” of a particle equals .
Immediately after the photon has passed through the slit, given particle has a momentum uncertainty of and its position uncertainty is
, then the minimum uncertainty in its momentum will be
