Answer: 2.1 %

Explanation:

The radius of the Argon atom, r = 71 pm = 7.1 × 10 ⁻¹¹ m

Average orbital speed of electrons, v = 3.9 × 10⁷ m/s

From uncertainty principle:

Δx m Δv ≥ h/4π

mass of electron, m = 9.1 ×10⁻³¹ kg

Δx = radius of the argon atom = 7.1 × 10 ⁻¹¹ m

\Rightarrow \Delta v = \frac {6.626 \times 10^{-34} m^2kg/s}{4\times 3.14 \times 7.1 \times 10^{-11} m \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} kg}

\Delta v = 8.2 \times 10^5 m/s

Percentage uncertainty:

\frac{\Delta v}{v} \times 100\% = \frac {8.2 \times 10^5 m/s}{3.9 \times 10^7 m/s} \times 100 \%= 2.1 \%

A large ebony wood log, totally submerged, is rapidly floating down a flooded river. If the mass of the log is 165 kg, what is t
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

F = 1618.65[N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the following equation that relates the mass, density and volume of the body to the floating force.

We know that the density of wood is equal to 750 [kg/m^3]

density = m / V

where:

m = mass = 165[kg]

V = volume [m^3]

V = m / density

V = 165 / 750

V = 0.22 [m^3]

The floating force is equal to:

F = density * g * V

F = 750*9.81*0.22

F = 1618.65[N]

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.

Nicki rides her bike at a constant speed for 6 km. That part of her ride takes her 1 h. She then rides her bike at a constant sp
Savatey [412]

km x h = km/h

First trial: 6 x 1 = 6km/h

Second trial: 9 x 2 = 18km/h

6 + 18 = <u>24km/h</u> (Total)

Or

6 + 9 = 15 km

2 + 1 = 3h

15 + 3 = 18

15 x 2 = 30

3 x 2 = 6

30 - 6 = <u>24km/h</u>

An athlete with mass m running at speed v grabs a light rope that hangs from a ceiling of height H and swings to a maximum heigh
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

d) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the athletes run with the same speed.

Explanation:

In the whole process , kinetic energy is converted into potential energy .

1/2 m v² = mgh

v² = 2gh

h = v² / 2g

In this expression we see that height attained does not depend upon mass of the object . At the same time it also makes it clear that it depends upon velocity . As the velocity in both the cases are same , height attained by both of them will be same. Hence option d ) is correct.
