Explanation:
According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle; it is not possible to simultaneously measure the momentum and position of a particle with precision.
The uncertainty associated with each measurement is given by;
∆x∆p≥h/4π
Where;
∆x = uncertainty in the measurement of position
∆p = uncertainty in the measurement of momentum
h= Plank's constant
But ∆p= mΔv
And;
m= 1.770×10^-27 kg
∆x = 0.15 nm
Making ∆v the subject of the formula;
∆v≥h/m∆x4π
∆v≥ 6.6 ×10^-34/1.770×10^-27 × 1.5×10^-10 ×4×3.142
∆v≥198 ms-1
