The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the uncertainty in velocity given the uncertainty in position, we can use Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which states: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4\pi m} \] Where: - \(\Delta x\) is the uncertainty in position, - \(\Delta v\) is the uncertainty in velocity, - \(h\) is Planck's constant, - \(m\) is the mass of the particle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the mass from grams to kilograms**: The mass of the particle is given as 25 g. We need to convert this to kilograms. \[ m = 25 \, \text{g} = 25 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg} = 0.025 \, \text{kg} \] **Hint**: Remember to convert grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000. 2. **Identify the given values**: - Uncertainty in position, \(\Delta x = 10^{-5} \, \text{m}\) - Planck's constant, \(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}\) 3. **Use the formula to find uncertainty in velocity**: Rearranging the Heisenberg's equation to find \(\Delta v\): \[ \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta x} \] 4. **Substitute the values into the equation**: \[ \Delta v = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times (0.025) \times (10^{-5})} \] 5. **Calculate the denominator**: First, calculate \(4 \times 3.14 \times 0.025 \times 10^{-5}\): \[ 4 \times 3.14 = 12.56 \] \[ 12.56 \times 0.025 = 0.314 \] \[ 0.314 \times 10^{-5} = 3.14 \times 10^{-6} \] 6. **Now substitute back to find \(\Delta v\)**: \[ \Delta v = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{3.14 \times 10^{-6}} \] 7. **Perform the division**: \[ \Delta v = 2.1 \times 10^{-28} \, \text{m/s} \] 8. **Final answer**: The uncertainty in velocity is: \[ \Delta v \approx 2.1 \times 10^{-28} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Conclusion: The correct option for the uncertainty in velocity is \(2.1 \times 10^{-28} \, \text{m/s}\). ---
