If a material blocks gamma radiation, then it will probably protect against alpha and beta radiation. Alpha particles are large and slow-moving, thus having very little penetrating power. Beta particles are fast-moving, and can penetrate the human flesh up to 1 or 2 centimeters. Gamma particles, however, have great penetration and can easily pass through the human flesh.

An electron and a 0.033 0-kg bullet each have a velocity of magnitude 495 m/s, accurate to within 0.010 0%. Within what lower li
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1.170*10^-3 m

3.23*10^-32 m

Explanation:

To solve this, we apply Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

the principle states that, "if we know everything about where a particle is located, then we know nothing about its momentum, and vice versa." it also can be interpreted as "if the uncertainty of the position is small, then the uncertainty of the momentum is large, and vice versa"

Δp * Δx = h/4π

m(e).Δv * Δx = h/4π

If we make Δx the subject of formula, by rearranging, we have

Δx = h / 4π * m(e).Δv

on substituting the values, we have

for the electron

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 9.11*10^-31 * 4.95*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 5.67*10^-31

Δx = 1.170*10^-3 m

for the bullet

Δx = (6.63*10^-34) / 4 * 3.142 * 0.033*10^-31 * 4.95*10^-2

Δx = 6.63*10^-34 / 0.021

Δx = 3.23*10^-32 m

therefore, we can say that the lower limits are 1.170*10^-3 m for the electron and 3.23*10^-32 for the bullet

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.
kaheart [24]

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be  372.77 m/s

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.

For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula

V= √F/μ

where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string

F is the tension in the string of piano

μ is the mass per unit length of the string

As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be

μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)

μ = 0.0041739 kg/m

By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity

V= √F/μ

V=√(580/0.0041739)

V =  372.77 m/s

Thus,  the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be  372.77 m/s
