g You want to make simultaneous measurements of the position and momentum of an electron and a proton that are moving along a st

raight line. An alternate statement of the uncertainty principle involves relationship between position (Δx) and momentum (Δp) uncertainties in the form . If both of them are located with an uncertainty of 1 × 10-10 m, what is the ratio of uncertainty in the velocity of the electron to that of the proton?

Answer:

1832

Explanation:

From;

Δp Δx = h/4π

Δp = uncertainty in momentum

Δx = uncertainty in position

h= Plank's constant

But p =mv hence, Δp= Δmv

m= mass, v= velocity

mass of electron = 9.11 * 10^-31 Kg

Mass of proton = 1.67 * 10^-27 Kg

since m is a constant,

Δv = h/Δxm4π

For proton;

Δv = 6.6 * 10^-34/4 * 3.14 * 1.67 * 10^-27 * 1 * 10^-10

Δv = 315 ms-1

For electron;

Δv = 6.6 * 10^-34/4 * 3.14 * 9.11 * 10^-31 * 1 * 10^-10

Δv = 577000 ms-1

Ratio of uncertainty of electron to that of proton = 577000 ms-1/315 ms-1= 1832

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1. 2 m/s? 3. 8 kg • m/s 4. 2 kg • m/s 6. 0 kg • m/s 6. 2 kg â
nevsk [136]

The momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

<h3> MOMENTUM:</h3>

Momentum of a substance is the product of its mass and velocity. That is;

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

According to this question, an object has a mass of 5kg and velocity of 1.2m/s. The momentum is calculated thus:

Momentum = 5kg × 1.2m/s

Momentum = 6kgm/s.

Therefore, the momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

A conservative force does the same work regardless of the path taken.
ella [17]

A conservative force is a force that when work is done against this force the work done does not depend on the path taken only the initial and final position.

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N

Two light bulbs are installed in two sockets, the sockets are connected in series, and power is then applied to the combination
Arisa [49]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

<em>If one of the bulbs is removed from the series, the other bulb will not come on at all.</em>

This is because the removal of one of the bulbs would interrupt the flow of current though the entire circuit.

Hence, that the other one will get brighter if one of two bulbs in a circuit is removed from its socket is not true.

A 6 cm object is 15 cm from a convex lens that has a focal length of 5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the lens, to t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

7.50 cm

Explanation:

The formula

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Is used.

where.

u is the object distance.

v is the image distance.

f is the focal length of the lens.

1/v + 1/15 = 1/5

1/v = 1/5 - 1/15

1/v = (3-1)/15

1/v = 2/15

2v = 15

V = 15/2

V = 7.5 cm

For focal length, f in lens is always taken as negative for concave and positive for convex. ... And for image distance, V in lens it is taken as positive in Convex lens since image is formed on +X side. It is taken as negative in Concave lens since image is formed in -X side of the Cartesian.
