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.

A 4 kg object moving to the left collides with and sticks to a 3 kg object moving to the right. Which of the following is true o
madam [21]

Answer:

D. The motion cannot be determined without knowing the speeds of the objects before the collision.

Explanation:

This question is tricky! We know the object moving to the left has a greater mass than the one moving to the right. We'd <em>assume</em> they would move to the left because the leftwards object has a greater mass, right?

Not. So. Fast.

We can solve for the objects' final velocity using the formula for momentum, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v .

Now here's where the trap is sprung: <em>we don't think about the equation</em>. This shows that the final velocity of the objects and the direction depends on both the mass of the objects <em>and</em> their initial velocity.

Basically, what if the 3 kg object is moving at 1 m/s and the 4 kg object is moving at –0.5 m/s? The objects would move to the <em>right</em> after the collision!

Do we know the velocity of these objects? No, right?

That means we <em>can't</em> determine the direction of their motion <u>unless we know their initial, pre-collision velocity</u>. This question is tricky because we look at the 4 kg vs. 3 kg and automatically assume the 4 kg object would dictate the direction of motion. That's not true. It depends on velocity as well.

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

b) q large and m small

Explanation:

q is large and m is small

We'll express it as :

q > m

As we know the formula:

F = Eq

And we also know that :

F = Bqv

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Bqv = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

or Eq = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Assume that you want a velocity selector that will allow particles of velocity v⃗  to pass straight through without deflection while also providing the best possible velocity resolution. You set the electric and magnetic fields to select the velocity v⃗ . To obtain the best possible velocity resolution (the narrowest distribution of velocities of the transmitted particles) you would want to use particles with q large and m small.
