Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the more precisely you know the position of a particle, the less precisely you can know its momentum (and vice versa). This is because the act of measuring one property changes the value of the other property. Therefore, if you know the location of a subatomic particle, you can't know the momentum of it with certainty. The principle does not provide information about the particle's size.
