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 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.
How can I find the uncertainty when a constant is divided by a value with an uncertainty?
Add up the relative uncertainties of both constant and of the divider
What does the Heisensberg uncertainty principal state?
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.
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.
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.
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.

What is uncertainty?
Uncertainty is not being sure of something.
What is the uncertainty of 1.93cm?
That is a statement of a fixed length. There is no uncertainty about that.
What is a sentence using the word uncertainty?
Your uncertainty is evident.

When was The Age of Uncertainty created?
The Age of Uncertainty was created in 1977.
When did The Age of Uncertainty end?
The Age of Uncertainty ended in 1977.
