The uncertainty principle arises from a common-sense idea: To measure something, you must affect it somehow. For instance, when you use a pressure gauge to measure air pressure in a car tire you release a small amount of air into the gauge.

In this example we will apply the equations for constant angular acceleration to the simple case of a rotating bicycle wheel. The angular velocity of the rear wheel of a stationary exercise bike is ω0=4.00rad/s at time t=0, and its angular acceleration is constant and equal to α=2.45rad/s2. A particular spoke coincides with the +x axis at time t=0 (Figure 1). What angle does this spoke make with the +x axis at time t=3.00s? What is the wheel's angular velocity at this time? part A: How much longer will it take before the reference spoke is once again aligned with the +x axis? Part B: What will the angular speed of the wheel be at this time?

A 64.7-kg skateboarder starts out with a speed of 2.44 m/s. He does 119 J of work on himself by pushing with his feet against the ground. In addition, friction does -257 J of work on him. In both cases, the forces doing the work are non-conservative. The final speed of the skateboarder is 7.88 m/s. (a) Calculate the change (PEf - PE0) in the gravitational potential energy. (b) How much has the vertical height of the skater changed? Give the absolute value.

Coulumb's law for the magnitude of the force F between two particles with charges Q and Q' separated by a distance d is
F=K * qq'/d^2 where K= 1/4pie e0 and e0= 8.854*10^-12/ (N*m^2) is the permittivity of free space.

Discuss how the size of details of an object that can be detected with electromagnetic waves is related to the wavelength of the EM wave, by comparing details observable with two different types (for example, radar and visible light or infrared and X-rays). Would an individual atom be observable by the human eye using a powerful optical microscope (one that uses visible light)? Why don
