**Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: An Educational Examination**German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position ($\Delta x$) to the uncertainty in its velocity ($\Delta v$) using the following relation:\[\Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta v}\]In this equation, $h$ represents Planck's constant, and $m$ denotes the object's mass.For context and application: - The mass of an electron is $9.11 \times 10^{-31}$ kg.**Problem Statement:** Determine the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at a velocity of $5.00 \times 10^6$ m/s, given that the uncertainty in velocity ($\Delta v$) is $0.01 \times 10^6$ m/s.**Answer:** Calculate $\Delta x \geq$ [Value in meters] mThis theoretical insight from Heisenberg has profound implications in quantum mechanics, depicting the intrinsic limitations of measuring quantum systems.
