B)a spitball.
C)an electron.
D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quantum uncertainties are most predominant in the microscopic, subatomic world. Therefore, the best choice for simultaneously measuring the speed and location with significant uncertainties is an electron, which is a subatomic particle. Options A and B involve larger objects and would not exhibit significant quantum uncertainties. Option D is incorrect as the other choices involve objects that can exhibit quantum uncertainties.
