Question:

Using Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, calculate the uncertainty in the position of
(a) A 1.50-mg mosquito moving at a speed of 1.40 m / s if the speed is known to within ±0.01 m/s;
(b) A proton moving at a speed of (5.00 ± 0.01) x 104 m/s. (The mass of a proton is given in the table of fundamental constants in the inside cover of the text.)
