calculate the uncertainty in the position of a hydrogen atom when its velocity is known to be within 50.0 m/s. How does the uncertainty in position compare to the radius of the hydrogen atom at approximately 0.040 nm (1 amu = 1.66 * 10^-27 kg).    really struggling on the second part of the question. thank you.
