Answer:

2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}

6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}

0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

\Delta x = Uncertainty in position = 1.9 m

\Delta p = Uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ \text{Js}

m = Mass of object

From Heisenberg's uncertainty principle we know

\Delta x\Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{h}{4\pi\Delta x}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq \dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 1.9}\\\Rightarrow \Delta p\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}

The minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object is 2.78\times 10^{-35}\ \text{kg m/s}

Golf ball minimum uncertainty in the momentum of the object

m=0.045\ \text{kg}

Uncertainty in velocity is given by

\Delta p\geq m\Delta v\geq 2.78\times 10^{-35}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{0.045}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is 6.178\times 10^{-34}\ \text{m/s}

Electron

m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ \text{kg}

\Delta v\geq \dfrac{\Delta p}{m}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq \dfrac{2.78\times 10^{-35}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v\geq 0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}

The minimum uncertainty in the object's velocity is 0.31\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m/s}.

If the police are chasing a runaway car why is knowing the velocity of the car important
atroni [7]

If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.

You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.

Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.

fomenos

Answer:

  1. 1.5m2

Explanation:

P=F/A. So here the force is given and the pressure is also given so you make the area the subject since that is what u are looking for
