A student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 0.200 fg (where a femtogra

m, fg, is 10^−15g) and is swimming at a velocity of v = 1.00 μm/s , with an uncertainty in the velocity of 5.00 % . E. coli bacterial cells are around 1 μm (10^−6 m) in length. The student is supposed to observe the bacterium and make a drawing. However, the student, having just learned about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, complains that she cannot make the drawing. She claims that the uncertainty of the bacterium's position is greater than the microscope's viewing field, and the bacterium is thus impossible to locate.
1. What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium?

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum​
ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.

What does a wave do that is so important?
expeople1 [14]
Waves transmit energy without transmitting matter, This means that we can move energy or information from one place to another without moving any substance from one place to another.

The part of a vompressional wave that has the lowest density is the
Yuri [45]
Longitudinal waves have energy that vibrates parallel to the medium - a compression is the region of greatest density and the rarefaction the region of highest density .The rarefaction (much like the maximum amplitude in a transverse wave) has a region of lowest density, typically situated in the exact center of the region.
