Why is it impossible to know precisely the velocity and position of an electron at the same time.?

This is because of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. It is a part of quantum mechanics. It has to do with an electron having properties of both a particle and and wave. If you only imagine an electron to be a particle, this can be somewhat explained by the process of measuring the position or velocity of the electron. If the data is measured with light, then when a photon hits the electron, it changes the electrons speed and position. We may be able to find one, but in the process, the other will be changed.


What are acceleration and velocity?

'Velocity' means the rate at which position changes, and the direction in which it changes. 'Acceleration' means the rate at which velocity changes, and the direction in which it changes.


Does measuring the momentum of the electron around the nucleus cause it to behave as a particle and so the cloud disappears as shown in double slots experiment?

Well, the act of measuring an electron's momentum changes its position, rendering the measurement invalid. This is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.


When an object changes position?

When the object is missing an electron.


How fast the position of an object changes is it's?

speed or velocity.


How are speed and changes in an object's position related?

Change in position over time is velocity ("speed").


What is how an objects position changes with time at any given moment?

Velocity.


What is the rate at which an object changes position in one direction?

Velocity is change in position, or displacement, over time.


What is position over time?

Changes in position over time is motion, and the rate of change may be velocity or speed.


Which characteristic of motion could change without changing the velocity?

Well, we know that velocity describes the speed and direction of motion, so you can't change either of those. We don't usually think of 'position' as a characteristic of motion, but if we try hard to please you, then we might observe that the position changes while velocity remains constant.


How many times does a hydrogen electron changes position each second?

1,420,450,751,494


How fast an objects position changes over any giving moment?

Speed.If you also know what direction it changes, then you have velocity.
