German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position (Ax) to the uncertainty in its velocity (Au) Ax > h 4πηΔυ where h is Planck's constant and m is the mass of the object. The mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-³1 kg. What is the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at 4.00 x 106 m/s with an uncertainty of Av = 0.01 x 106 m/s? Ax ≥ m

Question
German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position (Ax) to the uncertainty in its velocity (Av) Ax ≥ h 4πηΔυ where h is Planck's constant and m is the mass of the object. The mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10- -31 Ax ≥ kg. What is the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at 4.00 × 106 m/s with an uncertainty of Au = 0.01 × 106 m/s? m
