German physicist Werner Heisenberg related the uncertainty of an object's position (Δx) to the uncertainty in it's velocity Δv.

Δx ≥ h/4πmΔv where h is Planck's constant and m is the mass of the object.

The mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-31kg.

What is the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at 3.00 x 106 m/s with an uncertainty of Δv =0.01x106 m/s?
