J-s. If your 1400-kg car is parked in an 8.54-m-long garage, what is the uncertainty in its velocity? cm/s the tolerance is +/-2%

Answer:


\Delta v = 4.41 * 10^(-37) cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

As per Heisenberg's uncertainty principle we know that


\Delta P * \Delta x = (h)/(4\pi)

so here we have


\Delta P = m\Delta v


\Delta x = 8.54 m

now from above equation we have


m\Delta v * (8.54) = (h)/(4\pi)


1400(\Delta v) * (8.54) = (6.626 * 10^(-34))/(4\pi)


\Delta v = 4.41 * 10^(-39) m/s


\Delta v = 4.41 * 10^(-37) cm/s
