Question:

Because a nucleon is confined to a nucleus, we can take the uncertainty in its position to be approximately the nuclear radius r. Use the uncertainty principle to determine the uncertainty Δ p in the linear momentum of the nucleon. Using the approximation p = Δ p and the fact that the nucleon is non-relativistic, calculate the kinetic energy of the nucleon in a nucleus with A=100.
