The x coordinate of an electron is measured with an uncertainty of 0.200 mm . What is vx, the x component of the electron's velo

city, if the minimum percentage uncertainty in a simultaneous measurement of vx is 1.00 % ? Use the following expression for the uncertainty principle:
ΔxΔpx≥ℏ,

where Δx is the uncertainty in the x coordinate of a particle, Δpx is the particle's uncertainty in the x component of momentum, and ℏ=h2π, where h is Planck's constant.

Express your answer in meters per second to three significant figures.

Answer:

Velocity of electron along x direction is 57.9 m/s

Explanation:

The uncertainty in x coordinate of electron, Δx = 0.200 mm = 0.2 x 10⁻³ m

Let vₓ be the x component of electrons velocity.

The uncertainty in x component of electrons momentum is:

Δpₓ = mΔvₓ

Here m is mass of the electron.

The uncertainty in velocity x component is 1% i.e. 0.01.

So, the above equation can be written as :

Δpₓ = 0.01mvₓ    ....(1)

The minimum uncertainty principle is:

\Delta x\Delta p_{x} = \frac{h}{2\pi }    ....(2)

Here h is Planck's constant.

From equation (1) and (2),

\Delta x\times0.01m v_{x} = \frac{h}{2\pi }

Substitute 0.2 x 10⁻³ m for Δx, 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg for m and 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ m²kg/s in the above equation.

0.2\times10^{-3} \times0.01\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times v_{x} = \frac{6.626\times10^{-34} }{2\pi }

vₓ = 57.9 m/s

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)

Answer:

The proton has much greater mass

Explanation:

  • Protons and electrons are part of an atom
  • Proton exists inside nucleus whereas electron keep moving around the nucleus
  • Electrons have negative charge where as protons have positive charge .
