Answer:
m1/6 ( c )
Explanation:
since all the balls starts having the same momentum after the two collisions we will apply the principal of conservation of energy
After first collision
m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 --- ( 1 )
After second collision
m2v2 = m2v2 + m3v3 ---- ( 2 )
combining equations 1 and 2
m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 + m3v3 ----- ( 3 )
All balls moving at the same momentum ( p ) = m1v1 = m2v2 = m3v3
note ; 3p = m1v ∴ m3 = ----- ( 4 )
applying conservation of energy
3v = v1 + v2 + v3 ------- ( 5 )
also 3m1v1 = m1v = v1 = v/3 =
v2 + v3 = 8/3 v ----- ( 6 )
next eliminate V3 for equation 6 by applying conservation of energy and momentum
m1 = 2m2 ------ ( 7 )
now using p1 = p2 = m1v1 = 1/2 m1v1 hence v2 = 2v1 where v1 = 1/3 v
hence ; v2 = 2/3 v ------- ( 8 )
solving with equation 6 and 8
v3 = 2v ------ ( 9 ) ∴ v/v3 = 1/2 ---- ( 10 )
solving with equation 9 and 10
m3 = m1/3 * 1/2 = m1/6
Answer:
9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
Explanation:
According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle
Uncertainty in position x uncertainty in momentum ≥ h / 4π
Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π
Δp = mΔV
ΔV = Uncertainty in velocity
= 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 / 100
= 6 x 10⁻⁸
mass m = 0.9 x 10⁻¹⁵ x 10⁻³ kg
m = 9 x 10⁻¹⁹
Δp = mΔV
= 9 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6 x 10⁻⁸
= 54 x 10⁻²⁷
Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π
Δ X x 54 x 10⁻²⁷ ≥ h / 4π
Δ X = h / 4π x 1 / 54 x 10⁻²⁷
=
= 9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
