What is the uncertainty in position of a golf ball of mass 40g and speed 35 m/s if the speed can be measured within an accuracy of 2%?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Uncertainty in velocity, `Deltav=35(2)/(100)=0.7ms^(-1)`
Therefore, uncertainty in position, `Delta x=(h)/(4pi m Delta v)=(6.626 xx 10^(-34)"kgm"^(2)s^(-1))/(4xx3.14 xx (40xx10^(-3)kg) xx 0.7 ms^(-1)) =1.884 xx 10^(-33)m`
