Answer:

198 ms-1

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

How do metal detcors operate
Masja [62]
Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own.
