An automobile has a mass of 1500 kg. What is the minimum uncertainty in the velocity (in miles per hour) when its center of mass is located with an uncertainty no greater than 1 cm

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\triangle v=1.57*10^-^3^5miles/hour[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of of automobile M= 1500 kg

Generally the equation of the uncertainty principle is  given by

[tex]\triangle p=\frac{h}{ \triangle x}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle p=\frac{1.054*10^-^3^4}{ 10^-^2}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle p=1.054*10^-^3^2[/tex]

Generally the uncertainty in velocity is mathematically given by

[tex]\triangle v=\frac{\traingle p}{m}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle v=\frac{1.054*10^-^3^2}{1500}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle v=7*10^-^3^6m/s[/tex]

Therefore the minimum uncertainty in the velocity (in miles per hour)

[tex]\triangle v=7*10^-^3^6*\frac{3600}{1609.3}[/tex]

[tex]\triangle v=1.57*10^-^3^5miles/hour[/tex]
