German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position ( Δ x ) to the uncertainty in its velocity (

Δ v ) Δ x ≥ h 4 π m Δ v where h is Planck's constant and m is the mass of the object. The mass of an electron is 9.11 × 10 − 31 kg. What is the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at 2.00 × 10 6 m/s with an uncertainty of Δ v = 0.01 × 10 6 m/s ?

According to the information given, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle would be given by the relationship

\Delta x \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m}

Here,

h = Planck's constant

\Delta v = Uncertainty in velocity of object

\Delta x = Uncertainty in position of object

m = Mass of object

Rearranging to find the position

\Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m\Delta v}

Replacing with our values we have,

\Delta x \geq \frac{6.625*10^{-34}m^2\cdot kg/s}{4\pi (9.1*10^{-31}kg)(0.01*10^6m/s)}

\Delta x \geq 5.79*10^{-9}m

Therefore the uncertainty in position of electron is 5.79*10^{-9}m

Answer:

1 Newton

Explanation:

F=9*10^9*q0q1/r^2]]

F=9*10^9*(q0q1)/ r^2

r=3cm

F=4N

F=9*10^9*(q0q1)/3^2

4=9*10^9*(q0q1)/9

4=10^9 q0q1

q0q1=4/10^9

q0q1=4*10^-9

To calculate the force between the forces at a distance of 6 cm

F=9*10^9*(q0q1)/ r^2

=9*10^9*(4*10^-9)/6^2

=9*10^9*(4*10^-9)/36

=10^9*4*10^-9/4

=10^9*10^-9

=1 Newton

valkas [14]

Answer:

Metals are the good conductors of heat while plastic is a non metal and is not good in conductivity.

Explanation:

From the molecular point of view we usually define conductivity in terms of free electrons which are in abundance in metal and electrons do transfer heat. So when you touch a piece of metal these free electron of metal take that heat from your hand and transfer to the cooler part. "Flow of heat from hotter to colder part". That is the reason it feels colder upon touching the piece of metal. However Plastics do not have this characteristic of conduction of heat.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The answer is "82.2 torr"

Explanation:

moles of Xe:

= \frac{0.06}{131.293} \\\\ =0.00045699313 \ \mol

moles of F_2:

= \frac{0.0274}{38} \\\\= 0.00072105263\ \  mol

moles of produced XeF_2:

= 0.00024

moles of left Xe:

= 0.00021

Calculate the Pressure:

= \frac{(0.08206\times 0.00024 \times 293)}{(.1)}   + \frac{(0.08206\times  0.00021 \times  293)}{(.1)} \\\\= 0.10819611 \ \ atm \\\\ = 0.10819611 \times  760 \\\\ = 82.2 \ \ torr
