To calculate the wavelength of an object with mass and velocity, we can use the de Broglie wavelength equation, which relates the momentum of a particle to its wavelength:

λ = h / p,

where: λ is the wavelength, h is the Planck's constant (approximately 6.626 × 10^(-34) J·s), p is the momentum of the object.

The momentum of an object is given by:

p = m * v,

where: m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity.

Given that the mass (m) is 4 kg and the velocity (v) is 10^3 (m/s), we can calculate the momentum:

p = m * v = 4 kg * 10^3 m/s = 4000 kg·m/s.

Now, we can substitute the momentum value into the de Broglie wavelength equation:

λ = h / p = 6.626 × 10^(-34) J·s / 4000 kg·m/s.

Calculating this expression:

λ ≈ 1.6565 × 10^(-37) m.

Therefore, the wavelength of the object with a mass of 4 kg and a velocity of 10^3 m/s is approximately 1.6565 × 10^(-37) meters.
