The uncertainty Δp sets a lower bound on the average momentum of a particle in the nucleus. If a particle's average momentum wer
e to fall below that point, then the uncertainty principle would be violated. Since the uncertainty principle is a fundamental law of physics, this cannot happen. Using Δp=2.1×10−20 kilogram-meters per second as the minimum momentum of a particle in the nucleus, find the minimum kinetic energy Kmin of the particle. Use m=1.7×10−27 kilograms as the mass of the particle. Note that since our calculations are so rough, this serves as the mass of a neutron or a proton.

Answer:
The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.
Explanation:
The position of the ball at time "t" is described by the position vector "r":
r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)
Where:
x0 = initial horizontal position.
v0x = initial horizontal velocity.
t = time.
y0 = initial vertical position.
v0y = initial vertical velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
When the ball reaches the catcher, the position vector will be "r final" (see attached figure).
The x-component of the vector "r final", "rx final", will be 17.0 m. We have to find the y-component.
Using the equation of the x-component of the position vector, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the catcher (notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point so that x0 and y0 = 0):
x = x0 + v0x · t
17.0 m = 0 m + 40.1 m/s · t
t = 17.0 m/ 40. 1 m/s = 0.424 s
With this time, we can calculate the y-component of the vector "r final", the drop of the ball:
y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²
Initially, there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.
y = 1/2 · g · t²
y = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.424 s)²
y = -0.881 m
The ball will drop 0.881 m by the time it reaches the catcher.
Given data:
* The mass of the ball is 2 kg.
* The gravitational field strength at the surface of planet X is 5 N/kg.
Solution:
The weight of the ball on the planet X is,
where m is the mass of ball, a is the gravitational field strength,
Substituting the known values,
Thus, the weight of the ball on the surface of planet X is 10 N.
