It is not possible to determine precisel...

It is not possible to determine preciselt both the position and momentum (or velocity) of a small moving particle such as electron, proton etc. This is known as Heisenber uncertainty principle. The mathemactical form of this principle is :
`Delta x.Delta p ge (h)/(4pi)` (constant)
However this principle is irrevalent in case of bigger particles such as a cup, ball, car etc., that we come across in our daily life.
In case of small microscopic particles, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle rules out simultaneous exact determination of their

A

energy and velocity

B

charge density and radius

C

postion and momentum

D

none of the above three

The mathemactical form of this principle is : Delta x.Delta p ge (h)/(4pi) (constant) However this principle is irrevalent in case of bigger particles such as a cup, ball, car etc., that we come across in our daily life. Given that the mass of electron is 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg and velocity of electron is 2.2 xx 10^(6) ms^(-1) , if uncertainty in its velocity is 0.1% , the uncertainty in position would be
