The uncertainty in position of a proton confined to the nucleus of an atom is roughly the diameter of the nucleus. If this diame

ter is d = 7.8×10−15 m, what is the uncertainty in the proton's momentum?

Answer:

0.135E-19kgm/s

Explanation:

Using the uncertainty principle, we find

Dp = h / (4π Dx)

= (6.63×10-34Js)/4π(3.90×10-15m) = 0.135×10-19kg m/s

To apply Problem-Solving Strategy 12.2 Sound intensity. You are trying to overhear a most interesting conversation, but from you

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.316 m

Explanation:

The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location

β = 10 log $\frac{I}{I_o}$

let's write this expression for our case

β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}

β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}

β₂ -β₁ = 10 ( $log \frac{I_2}{I_o} - log \frac{I_1}{I_o}$ )

β₂ - β₁ = 10 $log \frac{I_2}{I_1}$

log \frac{I_2}{I_1} = $\frac{60 - 20}{10}$ = 3

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}$ = 10³

I₂ = 10³ I₁

having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

I = P / A

P = I A

the area is of a sphere

A = 4π r²

the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points

P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

we substitute the ratio of intensities

I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²

r₁² = 10³ r₂²

r₂ = r₁ / √10³

we calculate

r₂ = $\frac{10.0}{\sqrt{10^3} }$

r₂ = 0.316 m

A tray is moved horizontally back and forth in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of f = 2.07 Hz. On this tray is an empty cu

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of SHM is $f=2.07\ Hz$

Amplitude of SHM is $A=3.13\ cm$

Cup begins to slip when it overcomes the friction force

Friction force $F_s=\mu mg$

Applied force $F=ma$

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g$

and maximum acceleration during SHM is

$a=A\omega ^2$

$a=A(2\pi f)^2$

$a=3.13\times 10^{-2}\times (2\pi 2.07)^2$

$a=5.296\ m/s^2$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

$\mu =\frac{5.296}{9.8}=0.54$

How is voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points?

34kurt

Voltmeter is used to find the potential difference between two points.

We always connect it in parallel to the points where we need the potential difference.

Here in order to make the reading accurate we can increase the resistance of voltmeter so that it can not withdraw any current from the circuit.
