To solve the problem of calculating the uncertainty in the position of a golf ball using Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Uncertainty Principle The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the uncertainty in position (Δx) and the uncertainty in momentum (Δp) are related by the equation: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant. ### Step 2: Identify the Variables ...
