Question

*Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Question*

Answer 1

My Textbook defines the formula as \[\Delta x \times \Delta(mv) \ge \frac{ h }{ 4\pi }\]

What does the \[\Delta (mv)\] stand for, and how can I find it given the uncertainty in velocity, the velocity, and the mass of the object.

Answer 2

mv is mass*velocity is nothing but momentum

Answer 3

if one is given other can be determined by plunging the known things in that equation

Answer 4

I am not given delta x :(

Answer 5

then what all they gave for you tell me

Answer 6

Alright, I'll post my problem.

Answer 7

Use Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to calculate the uncertainty in the position of a 546 mg ball moving at a speed of 5.3 m/s if the speed is known to be correct within \[\pm 0.05\] m/s.

Answer 8

both mass and velocity aare given u have to find simply delta X ,
u know h is Planck a constant

Answer 9

yes, 6.626E-34 J-s

Answer 10

yup

Answer 11

how do i find delta (mv)?

Answer 12

here delta mean not exactly the difference ur thinking of its just uncertainty

Answer 13

How would I find the uncertainty of the momentum?

Answer 14

So, in this question, what would delta mv be?

Answer 15

delta P

Answer 16

Like numberwise :P

Answer 17

:D

Answer 18

I'm gonna draw out my work, can you tell if I am correct?
