I this formula is true according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the validity of the formula for velocity, defined as the change in displacement over the change in time, in the context of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP). Participants clarify that while HUP imposes limitations on measuring conjugate variables such as momentum (p) and position (x), it does not restrict the accuracy of velocity measurements. The distinction between conjugate variables and non-conjugate variables like time (t) is emphasized, confirming that the formula for velocity remains valid despite HUP considerations.

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.
