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.
