A baseball 10.15 kg2 and an electron both have a speed of 38 m/s Find the uncertainty in position of each of these objects, given that the uncertainty in their speed is 5.0%. 

Expert Solution
Introduction:

We are given mass of baseball and an electron. We are also given their velocities. We are given uncertainty in velocity. We find uncertainty in position using Uncertainty principle.

This principle is given as

xvh4πm

Here x,v,m are uncertainty in position and velocity respectively and mass respectively.

Minimum condition is

xv=h4πm
