?Using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, calculate the uncertainty in the position of (a) a 1.50-mg mosquito moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s

Chapter 6, Problem 6.51

(choose chapter or problem)

Using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, calculate the uncertainty in the position of

(a) a 1.50-mg mosquito moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s  if the speed is known to within \(\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\);

(b) a proton moving at a speed of \((5.00 \pm 0.01) \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). (The mass of a proton is given in the table of fundamental constants in the inside cover of the text.)

\pm 0.01 m/s

(5.00 \pm 0.01) X 10 4 m/s
