Force. Force is measured by newtons, probably because he came up with the equations to calculate force.

Hope this helps!

Select True or False for the following statements about Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. True False It is not possible to mea

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Statement 1) False

Statement 2) False

Statement 3) True

Explanation:

The uncertainty principle states that " in a physical system certain quantities cannot be measured with random precision no matter whatever the least count of the instrument is" or we can say while measuring simultaneously the position and momentum of a particle the error involved is

$P\cdot\delta x\geq \frac{h}{4\pi }$

Thus if we measure x component of momentum of a particle with 100% precision we cannot measure it's position 100% accurately as the error will be always there.

Statement 1 is false since measurement of x and y positions has no relation to uncertainty.

Statement 2 is false as both the momentum components can be measured with 100% precision.

Statement 3 is true as as demanded by uncertainty principle since they are along same co-ordinates.

At what distance x from the center of the coil, on the axis of the coil, is the magnetic field half its value at the center?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The value of x is 2.1 cm from the center of the coil.

Explanation:

Radius, R = 2.7 cm

Number of turns, N = 800

The magnetic field at the axis is half of the magnetic field at the center.

$B_{axis}=\frac{B_{center}}{2}\\\\\frac{\mu o}{4\pi}\times \frac{2 \pi I N R^2}{\left (R^2 + x^2 \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}} = 0.5\frac{\mu o}{4\pi}\times\frac{2\pi N I}{R}\\\\\frac{R^2}{(R^2 + x^2)^\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{1}{2R}\\\\4R^6 = (R^2+x^2)^3\\\\1.6 R^2 = R^2 + x^2\\\\x^2 = 0.6 \times 2.7\times 2.7 \\\\x = 2.1 cm$
