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}.

A car speeding down the highway honks its horn, which has a frequency 392 Hz, but a resting bystander hears the frequency 440 Hz
Natali [406]

Answer:

37.42 m/s

Explanation:

We know that apparent frequency, \bar f is given by

\bar f=f\frac {V}{V-V_s} where f is the given frequency in this case 392, V is the speed of sound in air which is given as 343 and V_s is the speed of car which is unknown, \bar f is given as 440 Hz

440=392\times \frac {343}{343-V_s}\\343-V_s=392\times \frac {343}{440}=305.5818182\\V_s=343-305.5818182=37.41818182\approx 37.42 m/s

1200kg car speeds up from 2 m/s to 6 m/s. How many times greater is the car's kinetic
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

9 times as great

Explanation:

KE = 1/2mv²

  1. 1/2(1200)(2)² = 2,400 J
  2. 1/2(1200)(6)² = 21,600 J

21,600 / 2,400 = 9

A descent vehicle landing on the moon has a vertical velocity toward the surface of the moon of 36.5 m/s. At the same time, it h
sammy [17]

Answer:

66.26 m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity, Vx = 55.3 m/s

Vertical velocity, Vy = 36.5 m/s

The value of the resultant velocity is given by the vector sum of the two velocities which are acting at 90°.

V=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2}+V_{y^{2}}}

V=\sqrt{55.3^{2}+36.5^{2}}}

V = 66.26 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the vehicle is 66.26 m/s along its descent path.
