Three fundamental constants of physics, which we will encounter at various times, are: mp, the mass of the proton, whose dimension is [M]; c, the speed of light, whose dimension is [L/T]; and h, Planck's constant, whose dimension is [ML2/T]. What combination of these constants will produce a quantity whose dimension is [L]? Show me explicitly what the correct combination of constants is. ([M] represents mass, [T] represents time, and [L] represents length.)

Imagine another universe in which the value of Planck’s constant is 0.0663 J . s, but in which the physical laws and all other physical constants are the same as in our universe. In this universe, two physics students are playing catch. They are 12 m apart, and one throws a 0.25 kg ball directly toward the other with a speed of 6.0 m/s. (a) What is the uncertainty in the ball’s horizontal momentum, in a direction perpendicular to that in which it is being thrown, if the student throwing the ball knows that it is located within a cube with volume 125 cm3 at the time she throws it? (b) By what horizontal distance could the ball miss the second student?
The answer is already shown, I am just confused about the steps. On part a, how does the 3.1447 go to 4.94Re? and then h=3.94Re and then 25097800m? On part b, where does the 2.5 come from? please solve in simpler steps, thank you.
Imagine an alternate universe where the value of the Planck constant is 6.62607x10−36J·s. In that universe, which of the following objects would require quantum mechanics to describe, that is, would show both particle and wave properties? Which objects would act like everyday objects, and be adequately described by classical mechanics? A mosquito with a mass of 1.1 mg, 8.7 mm long, moving at 2.7 m/s. A buckyball with a mass of 1.2 x 10-21 g, 0.7 nm wide, moving at 23. m/s. An iceberg with a mass of 3.4 x 108 kg, 160. m wide, moving at 1.21 km/h.

In the LHC, protons are accelerated to a total energy of 7.80 TeV. The mass of proton is 1.673 × 10−27 kg and Planck’s constant is 6.626 × 10−34 J·s. In the reference frame of the protons, how long does it take the protons to go around the tunnel once? I know the answer is 10.8ns. The solutions posted on here, do not come within 1% of that answer so I cannot trust that the steps are correct. Please give step by step instructions on how to arrive at 10.8 ns

Explain the following concepts: If you observe objects inside a very hot kiln, why is it difficult to discern the shapes of the objects? Why is an electron microscope more suitable than an optical microscope for “seeing” objects of atomic size? Are blackbodies black? Why is it impossible to simultaneously measure the position and velocity of a particle with infinite accuracy? All objects radiate energy. Why, then, are we not able to see all the objects in a dark room? Is light a wave or a particle? Support your answer by citing specific experimental evidence. In the photoelectric effect, explain why the stopping potential depends on the frequency of the light but not on the intensity. provided sources using APA format.
