An electron in an atom has an uncertainty of 0.2 nm. If it is doubled to 0.4 nm by what factor does the uncertainty in momentum

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

Explanation:

By Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, ΔpΔx ≥ h/2π where Δp = uncertainty in momentum and Δx = uncertainty in position = 0.2 nm. The uncertainty in momentum is thus Δp ≥ h/2πΔx. If the uncertainty in position is doubled, that is Δx₁ = 2Δx = 0.4 nm, the uncertainty in momentum Δp₁ now becomes Δp₁ ≥ h/2πΔx₁ = h/2π(2Δx) = (h/2πΔx)/2 = Δp/2.

So, the uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) ω = 6v/19L

B) K2/K1 = 3/19

Explanation:

Mr = Mass of rod

Mb = Mass of bullet = Mr/4

Ir = (1/3)(Mr)L²

Ib = MbRb²

Radius of rotation of bullet Rb = L/2

A) From conservation of angular momentum,

L1 = L2

(Mb)v(L/2) = (Ir+ Ib)ω2

Where Ir is moment of inertia of rod while Ib is moment of inertia of bullet.

(Mr/4)(vL/2) = [(1/3)(Mr)L² + (Mr/4)(L/2)²]ω2

(MrvL/8) = [((Mr)L²/3) + (MrL²/16)]ω2

Divide each term by Mr;

vL/8 = (L²/3 + L²/16)ω2

vL/8 = (19L²/48)ω2

Divide both sides by L to obtain;

v/8 = (19L/48)ω2

Thus;

ω2 = 48v/(19x8L) = 6v/19L

B) K1 = K1b + K1r

K1 = (1/2)(Mb)v² + Ir(w1²)

= (1/2)(Mr/4)v² + (1/3)(Mr)L²(0²)

= (1/8)(Mr)v²

K2 = (1/2)(Isys)(ω2²)

I(sys) is (Ir+ Ib). This gives us;

Isys = (19L²Mr/48)

K2 =(1/2)(19L²Mr/48)(6v/19L)²

= (1/2)(36v²Mr/(48x19)) = 3v²Mr/152

Thus, the ratio, K2/K1 =

[3v²Mr/152] / (1/8)(Mr)v² = 24/152 = 3/19

Which will remain the same for two identical books, one lying flat and the other standing on an end?

Fiesta28 [93]

Weight will remain the same for two identical books, one lying flat and the other standing on an end.

The strain at a factor internal a liquid is at once proportional to the intensity of the factor. When an item is submerged in a liquid, the intensity of its backside from the floor of the liquid is extra than that of some other a part of the item.

Archimedes' precept is the declaration that the buoyant pressure on an item is identical to the load of the fluid displaced with the aid of using the item.

Ensure your scale is on a flat, strong and stage floor. Do now no longer use your scale on carpet. When taking measurements, stand nevertheless withinside the middle of the platform till all measurements are displayed, and if feasible do now no longer circulate your scale in-among measurements.

billiardballsnew2 A white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.49 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.09 m/s and

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Final velocity of white ball is 0m/s

Final velocity of black ball is 3.09m/s

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy

An internal kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of objects in the system

Initial kinetic energy of white ball is Vi1 = 3.09m/s

Final kinetic energy of white ball is Vf1 = ?

Initial kinetic energy of black ball is Vi2 = 0m/s

Final kinetic energy of black ball is Vf2 = ?

m1 = 1.49kg mass of white ball

m2 = 1.49kg mass of black ball

The formula to calculate internal kinetic energy is

1/2m1Vf1^2 + 1/2m2Vf2^2 = 1/2m1Vi1^2

Solving the equation

1.Vf1 = (m1 - m2)Vi1/m1+m2

Vf1 = (1.49-1.49)*3.09/1.49+1/49

Vf1 = 0m/s

2. Vf2 = 2m1Vi1/m1+m2

Vf2 = 2*1.49*3.09/1.49+1.49

Vf2 = 3.09m/s

N:B following the general principle of collision when 2 bodies of same masses collide in elastic collision they exchange velocities.
