Question

A bullet with mass 10.000 g has a speed of 300.00 m/s; the speed is accurate to within 0.04%. Estimate the minimum uncertainty in the position of the bullet. Same question if you had an electron with the same speed. What can you conclude?

Step 1

Given: Mass of the bullet, m = 10.000 g = 0.010000 kg Speed of the bullet, v = 300.00 m/s Uncertainty in speed, Δv = 0.04% of v = 0.04/100 * 300 = 0.12 m/s Uncertainty in momentum, Δp = m * Δv = 0.010000 * 0.12 = 0.0012 kg m/s Using the uncertainty principle, Δx Show more…
