Question 1

Because of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, the velocity of a particle is known least precisely when the length of the wave packet representing the particle is

◦
< 10−15 m.

◦
< 10−10 m.

◦
of the order of 1.00 m.

◦
>10 m.

◦
the length of a plane wave (infinite)


Question 2

Because the factor h on the right side of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle has units of Joule-seconds, it suggests that the energy of a system also has uncertainty. The uncertainty in energy depends on the length of the time interval during which a system exists. ΔEΔt≥h/4π. Suppose an unstable mass is produced during a high-energy collision such that the uncertainty in its mass is me/100. (me = 9.11 × 10−31 kg.) How long will this particle exist?

◦
6.4 × 10−20 s

◦
2.3 × 10−23 s

◦
1.0 × 1015 s

◦
1.2 × 1013 s

◦
8.1 × 10−19 s

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
