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

makkiz [27]

Hi there!

We can use the following kinematic equation:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad

vf = final velocity (? m/s)
vi = intial velocity (0 m/s)

a = acceleration (5 m/s²)

d = displacement (8 m)

Plug in the givens and solve.

v_f^2 = 0 + 2(5)(8)\\\\v_f = \sqrt{80} = \boxed{8.944 \frac{m}{s}}

A horizontal spring-mass system has low friction, spring stiffness 160 N/m, and mass 0.3 kg. The system is released with an init
anygoal [31]

Answer:

(a) 0.38 m

(b) 2.78 m/s

(c) 0.11 watt

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.3 kg

spring constant, K = 160 N/m

initial compression, d = 12 cm = 01.2 m

initial speed, u = 3 m/s

(a) Let the maximum stretch is y.

Use conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final potential energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x K x y²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 160 x y²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 160 y²

y = 0.38 m

y = 38 cm

(b) Let v is the maximum speed.

The speed is maximum when the stretch in the spring is zero, so by use of conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x m x v²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 0.3 x v²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 0.3 v²

v = 2.78 m/s

(c) The time period of the spring mass system is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.3}{160}}

T = 0.272 second

Energy dissipated per cycle = 0.03 J

Power, P = 0.03 / 0.272 = 0.11 Watt
