5.2 Consider a particle moving in three dimensions. Is it possible forthe particle to be in a state of definite px and y, i.e., can both itsy-coordinate and its momentum in the x direction be known at thesame time?

According to uncertainty principle, position and momentum in the same direction, lets say…
