Calculate the uncertainty in the position of a cricket ball of mass 150 g if the uncertainty in velocity is `3.52 xx 10^(-24) ms^(-1)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mass of the ball = 150g = 0.150 kg
Uncertainty in velocity `(Deltav) = 3.52 xx 10^(-24) ms^(-1)`
`Deltax. mDelta v ge h/(4 pi)`
`Deltax = (6.626 xx 10^(-34) kg m^2 s^(-1))/(4 xx 3 xx 1.42 xx (0.150 kg) xx (3.52 xx 10^(-24) ms^(-1)))`
`Deltax = 10^(-10) m`
`Deltax = 1 Å (1 Å = 10^(-10)m)` .
