Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide (about the size of an atomic nucleus). What's the minimum uncertainty in its velocity?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Minimum uncertainty in velocity of a proton, $\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A proton is confined to a space 1 fm wide, $\Delta x=10^{-15}\ m$

We need to find the minimum uncertainty in its velocity. We know that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle gives the uncertainty between position and the momentum such that,

$\Delta p.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

Since, p = mv

$\Delta (mv).\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$m \Delta v.\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta v\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi m\Delta x}$

$\Delta v\ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 10^{-15}}$

$\Delta v\ge 3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$

So, the minimum uncertainty in its velocity is greater than $3.15\times 10^7\ m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed is same as that before it entered glass.

Explanation:

Given:

A light ray enters and passes through the glass as shown in the diagram.

We have to analyze its speed.

Speed of light in air is $3\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$ and speed of light in glass is $2.25\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$

Whenever a light ray enters a glass block or slab there is bending of light at the interface of the two media.

So speed of light will decrease in glass medium and again it passes to the air.

Speed of light in air will again increase or will be equivalent to the earlier speed when it was entering the glass block.

Finally

Speed is same as that before it entered glass as it in the same medium (air).

What do scientists do to easily share measurement data they can understand?

malfutka [58]

These days, scientists all over the world use a standard system of measurements. It's the SI or metric system.

What about scientists in the United States, Liberia, and Burma ?
These three countries are the only ones in the world that haven't
adopted the metric system. What do THEY do ?

Easy. When scientists in those countries are off work, they use the
inches, yards, feet, quarts, miles and gallons that everybody around
them is using. But when they go to work, they use the same metric
system that everyone else in the world is using.

Explain Newton's third law in your own words.

Kazeer [188]

Newton's third law states "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

What this is pretty much saying is that for every action, there is a consequence. One force connects and triggers another.
