What is the minimum uncertainty in the position of a $0.50-\mathrm{kg}$ ball that is known to have a speed uncertainty of $3.0 \times 10^{-28} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} ?$
The uncertainty in the momentum Δp of a ball travelling at 20 m/s is 1!10⁻⁶ of its momentum. Calculate the uncertainty in position Δx? Mass of the ball is given as 0.5 kg.
A ball of mass $50 \mathrm{g}$ moves with a speed of $30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. If its speed is measured to an accuracy of 0.1\%, what is the minimum uncertainty in its position?
