What is the equation for calculating the uncertainty in the momentum of a particle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can be found out by Heisenberg uncertainty principle \[\Delta x \Delta p \ge h \div2\] where \[\Delta p\] is the velocity of particle and \[\Delta\] is the position of that particle but according to this principle both cannot be found out exactly at a time, there's a;ways an uncertainty !!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and h is the Heisenberg constant\[=1.05\times10^{-34}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I shall objet : \[\Delta p\] , or any \[ \Delta x\] for that matter, is the uncertainty in the mesurement, and not the value of the momentum/energy/... itself.
