Do the conduction electrons in a copper wire act quantum mechanically or not? Roughly speaking, quantum mechanics comes in when

the de Broglie wavelength of an electron is comparable to or longer than the spacing between atoms. The lattice constant (roughly the spacing between atoms in a crystal) for copper is about 4 x 10-10 m. The drift velocity of electrons is typically less than 102 m/s under household conditions (b) What about atoms in the interstellar medium? Here we want to compare the average spacing between atoms (they move!) to the de Broglie wavelength of an atom. The interstellar medium is mostly hydrogen at an average density of order 1/cm3 and temperature about 3 K. In this case you' need the thermody- namic resul p/(2m)(3/2)kT, where k is Boltzmann's constant (c) Now let's switch gears to talk abou the Uncertainty Principle When LIGO detects gravitational waves, it is measuring displacements of its test masses of order 10-18 m. The test masses are about 40 kg. What is the minimum uncertainty induced in the velocities of the test masses?

Find the period of a wave with a frequency 40 kHz​
Burka [1]

We know that frequency is an inverse value of time f=\dfrac{1}{t} this implies that time is the inverse value of frequency t=\dfrac{1}{f}.

Now since <em>f</em> is <em>40kHz</em><em>,</em><em> </em>we can calculate period or duration for that matter time.

t=\dfrac{1}{40\mathbf{kHz}}=0.000025\mathbf{s}=25\mathbf{\mu s}

Hope this helps.

An electronic balance shows the mass of a sample of sodium chloride to be 29.732 g. what is the uncertainty of the measurement
OLEGan [10]

The uncertainty of the measurement is 0.001 gm.

The uncertainty in the measurement of a physical quantity is given as how precisely we can measure that, in this case as we can see that the mass of the sodium chloride is precisely given as 29.732 gm, this means the electronic scale is precise to 0.001 gm and round of the values after that which means there is a uncertainty of 0.001 gm.

A helicopter is traveling at 86.0 km/h at an angle of 35° to the ground. What is the value of Ax? Round your answer to the neare
arsen [322]

First thing plot a right angle with angle of elevation of 35degrees as shown in figure then use SOHCAHTOA.

Ay/Helicopter = sin 35

Ay = 86 sin 35 = 36.8237

Ax/Helicopter = cos 35

Ax = 86 cos 35 = 77.7175

Note: I ignore the negative signs coz they signify direction
