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

< 1015 m.

< 1010 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. ΔEΔth/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 × 1031 kg.) How long will this particle exist?

6.4 × 1020 s

2.3 × 1023 s

1.0 × 1015 s

1.2 × 1013 s

8.1 × 1019 s

A recent study has found that following a diet rich in berries may slow down the aging process of the brain. This diet apparently helps to keep dopamine levels much higher than are seen in normal individuals who do not eat berries as a regular part of their diet as they enter their later years.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Did you know?

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.

Only 12 hours after an egg cell is fertilized by a sperm cell, the egg cell starts to divide. As it continues to divide, it moves along the fallopian tube toward the uterus at about 1 inch per day.
