Time standards are now based on atomic clocks. A promising second standard is based on pulsars, which are rotating neutron stars (highly compact stars consisting only of neutrons). Some rotate at a rate that is highly stable, sending out a radio beacon that sweeps briefly across Earth once with each rotation, like a lighthouse beacon. Pulsar PSR 1937 + 21 is an example; it rotates once every 1.557 806 448 872 753 ms, where the trailing3 indicates the uncertainty in the last decimal place (it does not mean3 ms). (a) How many rotations does PSR 1937 + 21 make in 7.00 days? (b) How much time does the pulsar take to rotate exactly one million times and (c) what is the associated uncertainty?
Using conversions and data in the chapter, determine the number of hydrogen atoms required to obtainof hydrogen. A hydrogen atom has a mass of .
Figure 28-26 shows crossed uniform electric and magnetic fields and , at a certain instant, the velocity vectors of the 10 charged particles listed in Table 28-3. (The vectors are not drawn to scale.) The speeds given in the table are either less than or greater than (see Question 5). Which particles will move out of the page toward you after the instant shown in Fig. 28-26?
A machine carries a 4.0 kgpackage from an initial position ofat t=0to a final position ofat t=12 s. The constant force applied by the machine on the package is. For that displacement, find (a) the work done on the package by the machine鈥檚 force and (b) the average power of the machine鈥檚 force on the package.
Suppose that an electron trapped in a one-dimensional infinite well of width is excited from its first excited state to its third excited state.
(a) What energy must be transferred to the electron for this quantum jump? The electron then de-excites back to its ground state by emitting light. In the various possible ways it can do this, what are the (b) shortest, (c) second shortest, (d) longest, and (e) second longest wavelengths that can be emitted? (f) Show the various possible ways on an energy-level diagram. If the light of wavelength role="math" localid="1661938823709" happens to be emitted, what are the (g) longest and (h) shortest wavelength that can be emitted afterward
