Interpretation:
Uncertainty in velocity of car has to be calculated and also whether the driver can evade a speeding ticket has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it impossible to measure the exact position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. This can be expressed mathematically as shown below.
Where,
It is known that the product of mass and velocity is the momentum of the particle. This can be expressed as shown below.
Therefore, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle can also be expressed as shown below.
