Show that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is of negligible significance for an obeject of 10^-6 kg mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you need calculation i think you should better ask this question in physics group...

h.b.p is better applicable on microscopic particles which dimension is less than 10^-6 m e.g electron ,,, 10-6kg is huge mass, so for such object it is negligible significance

Heisenberg uncertainty principle is that position and momentum can not measure at same time

clear or not

|dw:1336143610545:dw| If the mass is 10^-6 kg the uncertainty is product is v low If it is say 10^-31kg check the uncertainty product, its quite large uncertainty in position and velocity(or momentum) are inversely related and the magnitude of inc or decrease depends upon this product. In the first case, if uncertainty in position decreases, the uncertainty in velocity does increase but that increase in uncertainty is v less. Thats not the case when the mass is v less, the sec case. hope this helps
