Question
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle can be applied to(a) A cricket ball(b) A foot ball(c) A jet aeroplane(d) An electron
Step 1
It states that it is impossible to simultaneously measure the exact position and momentum (or velocity) of a particle. In other words, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be controlled, determined, or known. Show more…

Cricket ball, a tennis ball and a proton which has more uncertainty in velocity and which follows Heisenberg uncertainty principle maximum.
A consequence of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is that in the quantum mechanical picture of the atom, the solid electrons, as pictured in earlier models of the atom, are replaced by probability distributions of the electrons (electron clouds).
Select the correct statement(s) about Uncertainty principle. a. The product of uncertainty in momentum in position is always constant b. This principle can explain why electron cannot exist in nucleus c. This principle is applicable to microscopic as well as macroscopic particle d. Heisenberg uncertainty principle is ruled out the concept of definite trajectories around the nucleus.
