Can someone please explain to me how to do the following multiple choice questions in this unit 5 paper

https://googledrive.com/host/0B1ZiqBksUHNYTU9SWFFTVjI5T0k/June%202010%20QP%20-%20Unit%205%20Edexcel%20Physics.pdf

questions

4) 5) 7) 8) and 9)

and

why the answers for

question 12b) and 13 c i) on this paper are so?

Unit 4 Q12b:

Read the first few line of the q, it says atom size about 10^-10. The size of nucleus is 10^-15 approximately, so is much smaller. Using lambda=h/p much smaller lambda means much greater momentum p. using KE=(p^2)/2m, much greater momentum p means much greater KE.

Unit 4 Q13ci:

Centripetal force always acts towards the centre of the circular path.

Unit 5 Q4:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :smile:

Do you mind if I add them to a post I made for resources on physics? The second post on this thread

Q2- The answer is C.

Total initial momentum=total final momentum, as total momentum is conserved

Since you have two particles,

Momentum of P before (1) + momentum of Q before (2)

= momentum of P after (3) + momentum of Q after (4)

Add all the vectors for initial momentum (1)+(2).

Add all the vectors for the final momentum (3)+(4).

In both cases, you start from the same position and also end at the same position. The length of this resultant momentum vector [(1)+(2) or even (2)+(3), both give the same resultant momentum vector] is the same, showing how the magnitude of initial momentum=magnitude of final momentum as expected. The direction of this resultant momentum vector is the same, as expected.

Q10:

A tennis ball can never pass through a tiny narrow slit, so this is silly nonsense.

A tennis ball already is a particle, so this is just contradictory to the obvious, so seems wrong and silly nonsense.

This makes sense. The incredibly tiny wavelength of it means that WHATEVER it passes through, its diffraction will be negligible and the gap it passes through has a size definitely not similar to the wavelength of the ball.

Lambda=h/p
p=h/lambda
mv=h/lambda
v=h/(m)(lambda)

Let m be say 0.1kg (dont worry, just order of magnitude is important here, not whether it is 0.1,0.5 or 0.9kg)

v=6.63ms^-1, definitely not the speed of light, so silly nonsense again. Besides, a textbook says this
"No object can break the 'light barrier', I.e. travel faster than the speed of light,c" and there's a graph of m against velocity which curve where the assymptote is v=c=3 X 10^8 ms^-1 and as v approached c, the curve's gradient rises and the curve shoots up. So I doubt anything can even reach c=3 X 10 ms^-1.
