Chapter , Problem 83

(choose chapter or problem)

Because a nucleon is confined to a nucleus, we can take the uncertainty in its position to be approximately the nuclear radius r. Use the uncertainty principle to determine the uncertainty )p in the linear momentum of the nucleon. Using the approximation p % )p and the fact that the nucleon is nonrelativistic, calculate the kinetic energy of the nucleon in a nucleus with A ! 100.
