An electron and a 0.0500-kg bullet each have a velocity of magnitude 510 m/s, accurate to within 0.0100%. Within what lower limit could we determine the position of each object along the direction of the velocity

The lower limit that could be used to determine the position of each object along the direction of the velocity is 1.136 x 10⁻³ m.

Uncertainty in the position of the electron

The uncertainty in the position of the electron is calculated as follows;

[tex]\Delta x = \frac{h}{4\pi m\Delta v}[/tex]

where;

  • h is Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Js
  • m is mass of electron
  • Δv uncertainty in velocity = (0.01 x 10⁻²) x 510 = 0.051 m/s

[tex]\Delta x = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} }{4\pi \times 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \times 0.051} \\\\\Delta x = 1.136 \times 10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

Thus, the lower limit that could be used to determine the position of each object along the direction of the velocity is 1.136 x 10⁻³ m.
