Question

What is the uncertainty in position if the uncertainty of velocity is +- 1%. (Mass of object is 510kg)

Answer 1

Hi! This is your first question so I will try to make it as good as possible!

According to Heisenberg's uncertainity principle:

Δx.Δp=  

4π

h

​  

 

Δx.Δv=  

4πm

h

​  

 

given: h=6.626×10  

−34

Js=Planck's constant

m=mass of object =1microgram=10  

−6

 kg

Δx.Δv=  

4π10  

−6

 

6.626×10  

−34

 

​  

 

Δx.Δv=0.527×10  

−28 m/s^2
