Answer:

The uncertainty in the location that must be tolerated is 1.163 * 10^{-5} m

Explanation:

From the uncertainty Principle,

Δ_{y} Δ_{p} = \frac{h}{2\pi }

The momentum P_{y} = (mass of electron)(speed of electron)

                                = (9.109 * 10^{-31}kg)(995 * 10^{3} m/s)

                                = 9.0638 * 10^{-25}kgm/s

If the uncertainty is reduced to a 0.0010%, then momentum

                              = 9.068 * 10^{-30}kgm/s

Thus the uncertainty in the position would be:

                              Δ_{y} = \frac{h}{2\pi } * \frac{1}{9.068 * 10^{-30} }

                              Δ_{y} \geq  1.163 * 10^{-5}m

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.
