**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.
