The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that it is impossible to know both the position and momentum of an electron within at atom's electron cloud. As soon as you determine one property, the other is rendered invalid by your means of measurement.

∙ 7y agoShortly the answer is: the position and the momentum (or other pair of properties) of a particle in movement cannot be determined simultaneous with the same precision.
This principle is valid in quantum mechanics.
It is not correct to apply this principle to other systems.

What did Heisenberg contribute to quantum mechanics?
The Uncertainty Principal, which states that we cannot know the momentum AND position of an electron at the same time. The consequences of this are quite vast; by looking at something, we are actually changing its result.
States that is imposible to know both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time?
The heisenberg uncertainty principle is what you are thinking of. However, the relation you asked about does not exist. Most formalisms claim it as (uncertainty of position)(uncertainty of momentum) >= hbar/2. There is a somewhat more obscure and less useful relation (uncertainty of time)(uncertainty of energy) >= hbar/2. But in this relation the term of uncertainty of time is not so straightforward (but it does have an interesting meaning).
What does La Chateliers principal state?
A reaction at equilibrium will respond to balance a change
State the causes of uncertainty in measurement?
There are many, but the most important are usually - the person doing the measuring, the mesuring device, the environment where the measurement is being made and variability in the item being measured.
What does the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle mean?
In any measurement, the product of the uncertainty in position of an object and the uncertainty in its momentum, can never be less than Planck's Constant (actually h divided by 4 pi, but this gives an order of magnitude of this law). It is important to note that this uncertainty is NOT because we lack good enough instrumentation or we are not clever enough to reduce the uncertainty, it is an inherent uncertainty in the ACTUAL position and momentum of the object.
Identify three types of uncertainty when you run a business?
There are three types of uncertainty when owning or managing a small business. The three types of uncertainty are state uncertainty, effect uncertainty and response uncertainty.
Why must scientists use the concept of probability for the structure of an atom?
This is due to Heisenberg's principal of uncertainty.
What is played out every time a plaintiff and defendant place their case in the hands of a judge or jury?
The Uncertainty Principal
Which german scientist formulated the 'uncertainty principal'?
In 1927 Werner Karl Heisenberg published his uncertainty principle stating that you cannot know the precise location of a particle and know its momentum at the same time.
What does 'Quasi-resonance' means?
Quasi means close but not quite there it a state of uncertainty
Can person with a power of attorney take property from other residents when they live in another state?
An attorney in fact under a power of attorney acts on behalf of the principal and has the authority to handle the principal's business and property. If the principal has property in another state the AIF can collect it on behalf of the principal. If the property does not belong to the principal then the AIF has no authority to take it.An attorney in fact under a power of attorney acts on behalf of the principal and has the authority to handle the principal's business and property.

What is the percent uncertainty for the measurement given as 4.19m?
When giving the result of the measurement, its important to state the precision or estimated uncertainty, in the measurement. The percent uncertainty is simply the radio of the uncertainty to the measured value, multiplied by 100. 4.19m take the last decimal unit, is 9 but with value of 1/100 .01 is the uncertainty Now, .01/4.19 x 100 % = 0.24%

How do you calculate uncertainty?
There are several ways to calculate uncertainty. You can round a decimal place to the same place as an uncertainty, put the uncertainty in proper form, or calculate uncertainty from a measurement.
