Answer: The uncertainty in velocity is equal to \frac{1}{m}\time \sqrt{\frac{h}{2\pi}}

Explanation:

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is  given by the equation:

\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi}

We are given:

Uncertainty in momentum is twice the uncertainty in position, this means that:

\Delta p=2\Delta x

And,

\Delta p=m\Delta v

Putting all the relations in above equation, we get:

\Rightarrow \Delta x.m\Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta p}{2}.\Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi \times m}\\\\\Rightarrow m\Delta v.\Delta v=\frac{2h}{4\pi \times m}\\\\\Rightarrow (\Delta v)^2=\frac{h}{2\pi \times m^2}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=\sqrt{\frac{h}{2\pi \times m^2}}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=\frac{1}{m}\times \sqrt{\frac{h}{2\pi}}

Hence, the uncertainty in velocity is equal to \frac{1}{m}\time \sqrt{\frac{h}{2\pi}}
