A proton and a bullet each move with a speed 324 m/s, measured with an uncertainty of .01%. If measurements of their respective positions are made simultaneous with the speed measurements, what is the minimum uncertainty in the position measurement for the proton in units of microns and 3 significant figures? Take ?(x)*?(p) = h/(2?). The proton mass is 938 MeV/c2.
