2) A particle with a size just below r* is unstable but a particle with a size a) just above r* is stable. What comments would you make on this statement? If you agree then, why are the particles just above (very little bigger than r*) a critical size r* thermodynamically stable even though the energy (Gibbs free energy) is positive.

Consider a model of an electron as a hollow sphere with radius R and the electron charge -e spread uniformly over that surface. d. Use Einstein’s equation relating rest mass to energy to derive a value for R. Unfortunately, your answer will be model-dependent. The traditional “Classical radius of the electron” is derived by setting the electrostatic work to be e2/(4pi e0 R)

What constraints does the uncertainty principle place on our knowledge of the world? To get a sense of scale, we’ll look at the uncertainty in speed for a confined electron and for a confined dust particle.a. What range of velocities might an electron have if confined toa 0.30-nm-wide region, about the size of an atom?b. A 1.0@mm@diameter dust particle (m ≈ 10-15 kg) is confined within a 5-μm-long box. Can we know with certainty if the particle is at rest? If not, within what range is its velocity likely to be found?
