Describe what physical meaning is attributed to ψ 2

Physics

NNADVOKAT [17]2 years ago

In quantum mechanics, \psi^2 the basic wave function has no physical meaning or significance. However, |\psi|^2 represents the probability distribution of particle in a given space.

Probability \propto |\psi|^2

So when you will put a position and a time in \psi^2 function, it will give you the probability of finding the particle at that particular position and at the given time.

A car is traveling at 100 km/h when the driver sees an accident 80 m ahead and slams on the brakes. what minimum constant decele
Effectus [21]
Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
2aS = v_f^2 - v_i^2 (1)
where 
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
v_f is the velocity at time t
v_i=100 km/h = 27.8 m/s is the initial speed of the car

The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and v_f=0 (the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve  the equation (1) to find a:
a=- \frac{v_i^2}{2 S}= -\frac{(27.8 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 80 m} =-4.83 m/s^2
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

I will give Brainliest to whoever can answer!!!!
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The nodes and anti nodes would reverse roles.

Explanation:

I believe it has to do with the path differences. If waves are in phase, then the path differences are such that the waves reach the screen with crests superimposing crests and troughs superimposing troughs. This happens when the periods of each wave are equal or the paths themselves differ by a whole number multiple of the wavelength (λ, 2λ, 3λ, ...).

Now make these waves out of phase. Then half of the waves will travel half a wavelength farther than the rest. So the path difference will be 0.5λ, 1.5λ, 2.5λ, ....

A gamma ray burst produces radiation that has a period of 3.6x10-21 s. What wavelength does this radiation have?
Olin [163]

Answer:

The radiation wavelength is  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

Explanation:

Frequency is the ratio of speed of photon to its wavelength

F = c/λ

where;

c is the speed of the photon = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ is the wavelength of gamma ray = ?

F is the frequency of the gamma ray = 1/T

T is the period of radiation = 3.6x10⁻²¹ s

\frac{1}{T}  = \frac{c}{\lambda}

λ = T*C

λ = 3.6x10⁻²¹ *  3 x 10⁸

λ =  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

Therefore, the radiation wavelength is  1.08 X 10⁻¹² m

The mass of the Earth is about 6 x 1024 kg
tia_tia [17]

Well it seems that you did not give answer choices, but that its fine since we can use newtons law of universal gravitational, Fg = GM1M2/r^2. So G is the gravitational constant, which is 6.67*10^-11, we can plug in 6*1024 for M1, and 7*1022 for M2, and 3.8*108 for r. Which then we get 1.74 * 10^8 N as the force of attraction between the Earth and the moon.

) you carry a 7.0 kg bag of groceries 1.2 m above the ground at constant velocity across a 2.7 m room. how much work do you do o
lapo4ka [179]
M = 7.0 kg, the mass of the groceries
h = 1.2 m, the elevation of the bag of groceries

The bag of groceries moves a constant velocity over the 2.7-m room.
At constant velocity, there is no applied force, and the kinetic energy remains constant.

At an elevation of 1.2 m, there is an increase in PE (potential energy) given by
V = m*g*h
    = (7.0 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(1.2 m)
    = 82.32 J

The change in PE is equal to the work done.

Answer: 82.3 J
