A student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 1.60 fg (where a femtogram, fg, is 10-15 g) and is swimming at a velocity of v= 1.00 μm/s, with an uncertainty in the velocity of 9.00 %. E. coli bacterial cells are around 1 μm (10-6 m) in length. The student is supposed to observe the bacterium and make a drawing. However, the student, having just learned about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics class, complains that she cannot make the drawing. She claims that the uncertainty of the bacterium's position is greater than the microscope's viewing field, and the bacterium is thus impossible to locate. What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium? Express your answer with the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) Ax= LO μA Value Units ?

Mass and weight are related via the equation W=mg on Earth. Mass is how much matter an object has and weight is the measure of mass under a gravitational field (on Earth g =9.80m/s2). Suppose you go to an unknown planet-X where the gravitational field of the planet is g’= 23.15m/s2. Will a metal have a higher, lower, or the same density on planet-X when compared to Earth. Assume the volume of the metal doesn’t change.
