Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar $M=1.2\times10^3\ kg$

velocity of racecar $u=8\ m/s$

mass of still honeybadger $m=80\ kg$

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of $v_1=2\ m/s$

conserving linear momentum

$Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]$

$1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2$

$1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s$

An object is moving along a straight line, and the uncertainty in its position is 1.90 m.

just olya [345]

Answer:

$2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

$6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

$0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

$\Delta x$ = Uncertainty in position = 1.9 m

$\Delta p$ = Uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ \text{Js}$

m = Mass of object

From Heisenberg's uncertainty principle we know

$\Delta x\Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi\Delta x}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 1.9}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object is $2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}$

Golf ball minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object

$m=0.045\ \text{kg}$

Uncertainty in velocity is given by

$\Delta p\geq m\Delta v\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{0.045}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is $6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}$

Electron

$m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ \text{kg}$

$\Delta v\geq \dfrac{\Delta p}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is $0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}$ .

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be subdivided into three regions: UVA, UVB, and UVC, based on their energy. What are the minimum

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

100nm-280nm

Explanation:

Ultraviolet rays (UV) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It goes from 10nm to 400nm wavelengths, they are shorter than visible light, thus it's impossible to see by a human eye, and larger than X-rays (used in many medical applications and harmful when long-exposed).

According to its wavelengths, UV can be divided in different types:

UVA: long wave UV (315nm-400nm)

UVB: medium-wave UV (280nm-315nm)

UVC: short wave UV (100nm-280nm)

Therefore, UVC comprises wavelengths between 10nm and 280nm.
