The correct Answer is:
To find the uncertainty in the velocity of a particle with a given uncertainty in position, we can use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that: \[ \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} \] where: - \(\Delta x\) = uncertainty in position - \(\Delta p\) = uncertainty in momentum - \(h\) = Planck's constant (\(6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}\)) ### Step 2: Relate Momentum to Velocity Momentum (\(p\)) is given by the product of mass (\(m\)) and velocity (\(v\)): \[ p = mv \] Thus, the uncertainty in momentum can be expressed as: \[ \Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v \] where \(\Delta v\) is the uncertainty in velocity. ### Step 3: Substitute into the Uncertainty Principle Substituting \(\Delta p\) into the uncertainty principle gives: \[ \Delta x \cdot (m \cdot \Delta v) = \frac{h}{4\pi} \] ### Step 4: Rearrange to Solve for \(\Delta v\) Rearranging the equation to solve for \(\Delta v\): \[ \Delta v = \frac{h}{4\pi m \Delta x} \] ### Step 5: Insert Given Values Now we can substitute the known values: - \(h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js}\) - \(m = 0.5 \, \text{g} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg}\) - \(\Delta x = 2 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}\) Substituting these values into the equation: \[ \Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \cdot 3.14 \cdot (0.5 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (2 \times 10^{-5})} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Denominator Calculating the denominator: \[ 4 \cdot 3.14 \cdot (0.5 \times 10^{-3}) \cdot (2 \times 10^{-5}) = 4 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 2 \times 10^{-8} \] Calculating the numerical part: \[ 4 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 2 = 12.56 \] Thus: \[ 12.56 \times 10^{-8} = 1.256 \times 10^{-7} \] ### Step 7: Final Calculation Now substituting back: \[ \Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{1.256 \times 10^{-7}} \approx 5.28 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 8: Round the Result Rounding to significant figures: \[ \Delta v \approx 5 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The uncertainty in the velocity of the particle is approximately: \[ \Delta v \approx 5 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{m/s} \]
