Assume we can determine the position of a particle within an uncertainty of 0.5 nm. What will be the resulting uncertainty in the particle's momentum (in kg  m/s)?
 a. 1.9  10-25
  b. 4.2  10-25
  c. 1.1  10-25
  d. 1.3  10-24
  e. 6.6  10-25

Question 2

Because the factor h on the right side of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle has units of Joule-seconds, it suggests that the energy of a system also has uncertainty. The uncertainty in energy depends on the length of the time interval during which a system exists. DEDt  h/4p. Suppose an unstable mass is produced during a high-energy collision such that the uncertainty in its mass is me/100 . (me = 9.11  10-31 kg.) How long will this particle exist?
 a. 6.4  10-20 s
  b. 2.3  10-23 s
  c. 1.0  1015 s
  d. 1.2  1013 s
  e. 8.1  10-19 s

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
