Answer:
(a) 7.11 x 10⁻³⁷ m
(b) 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m
Explanation:
(a) The de Broglie wavelength is given by the expression:
λ = h/p = h/mv
where h is plancks constant, p is momentum which is equal to mass times velocity.
We have all the data required to calculate the wavelength, but first we will have to convert the velocity to m/s, and the mass to kilograms to work in metric system.
v = 19.8 mi/h x ( 1609.34 m/s ) x ( 1 h / 3600 s ) = 8.85 m/s
m = 232 lb x ( 0.454 kg/ lb ) = 105.33 kg
λ = h/ mv = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / ( 105.33 kg x 8.85 m/s ) = 7.11 x 10⁻³⁷ m
(b) For this part we have to use the uncertainty principle associated with wave-matter:
ΔpΔx > = h/4π
mΔvΔx > = h/4π
Δx = h/ (4π m Δv )
Again to utilize this equation we will have to convert the uncertainty in velocity to m/s for unit consistency.
Δv = 0.1 mi/h x ( 1609.34 m/mi ) x ( 1 h/ 3600 s )
= 0.045 m/s
Δx = h/ (4π m Δv ) = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / (4π x 105.33 kg x 0.045 m/s )
= 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m
This calculation shows us why we should not be talking of wavelengths associatiated with everyday macroscopic objects for we are obtaining an uncertainty of 1.11 x 10⁻³⁵ m for the position of the fullback.

2.Electrons can be shared between neighbouring atoms.
3.Electrons can be shared with all atoms in a material.
Answer:
2.17
Explanation:
To calculate pH using the hygrogen ion concentration we must use the following formula:
- log (H+) = pH
All we have to do now is plug in our hygrogen ion concentration and put it in our calculator.
- log (6.8 × 10⁻³) = 2.17
Don't forget proper figures for pH!
I believe the answer is C. (must be touching the object)
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
