An electron has a velocity of $600 \, m/s$ with an accuracy of $0.005 \%$. Calculate the uncertainty in the position of this electron.

In an atom,an electron is moving with a speed of $600 \ m/sec$ with an uncertainty of $0.005\%$. The uncertainty with which the position of the electron can be located is:

$x$ and $y$ are two moving particles. The uncertainty in the momentum of $x$ is half the uncertainty in the momentum of $y$. If the uncertainty in the position of particle $x$ is $0.05 \ \mathring{A}$,then the uncertainty in the position of particle $y$ is = .......
