An electron has an average position of 9.87 pm from the nucleus of an atom. What is the uncertainty in the velocity (in meters per second) of the electron if the uncertainty in its position is 3.4%? The mass of an electron is 0.000548 amu and there is 1.6605 x 10-27 kg in 1 amu. Report your answer in proper scientific notation to 2 sig figs by filling in the blanks below with units entered last. x 10
