heisenberg uncertainty principle

Featured Replies

hey guys, im having trouble with the heisenberg uncertainty principle equation! can any1 help me with this question?

Given that the mass of an electron is 9x10^-31kg, calculate the lowest uncertainty in position and velocity for the electron.

(i think this is meant to be a really easy Q but i still dont get it *sigh)

but there r 2 variables to be solved...if u put in the mass, u will have 2 variables left and only that one equation...how can u find the value of each of the variables itself? wouldn't u need another equation for that?
