I this formula is true according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) to a formula describing velocity as the change in displacement over time. It asserts that while HUP restricts the simultaneous measurement of conjugate variables like momentum and position, it does not impose limitations on measuring velocity. Participants clarify that displacement (x) and time (t) are not conjugate variables, meaning HUP does not affect the accuracy of velocity measurements. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between conjugate variables and the implications for understanding motion. Ultimately, the formula for velocity remains valid under the principles outlined by HUP.

Is this formula is true according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle?

the formula that describes the velocity is equal to the change of the displacement over the change of time,,,,, is this formula true according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle? specially it is impossible measuring the displacement and momentum at the time.

HUP does not limit the accuracy of velocity measurement.
HUP refers to "conjugate variables" like p and x.
x and t are not conjugate variables.
