Homework Statement

Suppose Fuzzy, a quantum-mechanical duck, lives in a world in which h = 2πJ · s. Fuzzy has a mass of 1.80 kg and is initially known to be within a pond 1.00 m wide. (a) What is the minimum uncertainty in the duck's speed?
1(b) Assuming this uncertainty in speed to prevail for 5.40 s, determine the uncertainty in Fuzzy's position after this time.

Well can you tell us what you tried, and tell us the right answer that you are failing to get?

(a) I plugged all the numbers into the equation using 2pie for h and I get 8.88 and its off by orders of magnitude (b) I have no idea

How did you get 8.88?
if delta x * m * delta v = h/4 = 2pi / 4 = pi / 2
then
delta v = Pi / (2 * 1 m * 1.8 kg) = Pi Js / 3.6kgm
pi/3.6 is NOT 8.88 ... it's going to be a little less than 1

and that's not even considering the fact that the uncertainty in speed should be half of the uncertainty of velocity (though I've even seen some textbooks that don't even consider the fact that velocity can be in both directions, and take the uncertainty in velocity to be the uncertainty in speed...however, the book that i learned quantum mechanics from had the uncertainty in speed as half the uncertainty in velocity for all the questions ...i don't know how your online service works, but if 8.88 is off by EXACTLY an order of magnitude, then the real answer would be 0.87 and not half of that)
