A spring-loaded dart gun is used to shoot a dart straight up into the air, and the dart reaches a maximum height of 24 meters above its point of release

The same dart is shot up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far (compared to the first shot). How far up does the dart go this time? (Neglect friction and assume the spring is ideal and massless.) A) 6.0 m B) 12 m C) 3.0 m D) 48 m

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. ?E?t ? h/4?. Suppose an unstable mass is produced during a high-energy collision such that the uncertainty in its mass is

me/100 . (me = 9.11 × 10^?31 kg.) How long will this particle exist? a. 6.4 × 10^?20 s b. 2.3 × 10^?23 s c. 1.0 × 10^15 s d. 1.2 × 10^13 s e. 8.1 × 10^?19 s
