<h2>Answer: The more precisely you know the position of a particle, the less well you can know the momentum of the particle
</h2>
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle was enunciated in 1927. It postulates that the fact that each particle has a wave associated with it, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine <u>its position and speed at the same time. </u>
In other words:
<em>It is impossible to measure simultaneously (according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle.</em>
<h2>So, the greater certainty is seeked in determining the position of a particle, the less is known its linear momentum and, therefore, its mass and velocity. </h2><h2 />
In fact, even with the most precise devices, the uncertainty in the measurement continues to exist. Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.
Therefore the correct option is C.
Answer:
Making the lumber thick will make it stiff, which seems good. On the other hand, with thicker lumber, differences in expansion on the two faces have more leverage to make the lumber move.
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
= 0.6
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
Using Pythagoras theorrem
Base² + height ² = Hypotenuse²
Thus;
Base² = 15² - 12²
= 81
Base = √81 = 9
But; cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
Hence; cos θ = 9/15
<u>= 0.6 </u>
M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet
By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
= 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.
The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J
If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN
Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN
