A subatomic particle created in an experiment exists

Reference no: EM13658578

A subatomic particle created in an experiment exists in a certain state for a time of Δt = 8.0 x 10-20 s before decaying into other particles. Apply both the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the equivalence of energy and mass (seeSection28.6) to decide the minimum uncertainty involved in measuring the mass of this short-lived particle.

What is the work done by the ropes force : A rope is utilized to pull a 3.57 kg block at constant speed 4.86 m along a horizontal floor. The force on the block from the rope is 7.82 N and is directed 15° above the horizontal. What is the work done by the rope's force?

How much energy is transferred to thermal energy-slide : Through a rockslide, a 770 kg rock slides from rest down a hillside that is 500 m long and 300 m high. The coefficient of kinetic friction among the rock and the hill surface is 0.29. How much energy is transferred to thermal energy through the slide

Might be treated as a convex spherical mirror : A drop of water on a countertop reflects light from a flower held2.6 cm directly above it. The flower's diameter is 2.0 cm, and the diameter of the flower's image is 0.19 cm. What is the focal length of the water drop, assuming that it might be treat..

A beam of high-energy protons emerges from a cyclotron : A beam of high-energy protons emerges from a cyclotron. Is there a magnetic field associated by these particles? Why or why not? There is no magnetic field associated with these protons as there is an electric field around them. There is a magnetic f..

Force of the track on the car at the bottom of the dip : A roller-coaster car has a mass of 500kg when fully loaded by passengers. The car passes over a hill of radius 15 m. At the top of the hill, the car has a speed of 8.0 m/s. what is the force of the track on the car at the hill?

Decide the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block : A 10.0 kg black is released from point A. The track is frictionless except for the portion among points B and C, which has a length of 6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2250N/m, and compresses the spring 0.300 ..

What was the initial velocity of the bullet : A 14-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 110-g wooden block that is originally at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface and connected to a spring having spring constant 169 N/m. The bullet becomes embedded in the block. The bullet-block system ..

Man and box are at rest on horizontal frictionless surface : A man and a box are at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface (similar to an ice skating rink, only less friction). Their masses are 84.8 kg and 48.6 kg, respectively. The man pushes on the box and as a result the box moves with final speed 10.4 m..
