By extremely careful measurement, you determine the x-coordinate of a car's center of mass with an uncertainty
Question:
(a) What is the minimum uncertainty in the x-component of the velocity of the car's center of mass as prescribed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
(b) Does the uncertainty principle impose a practical limit on our ability to make simultaneous measurements of the positions and velocities of ordinary objects like cars, books, and people? Explain.
