A hamster of mass 100 g lives in a cage of length 2.0 m, width 0.75 m, and height 0.50 m. Assume that the hamster runs only along a straight line that is parallel to the 2.0 m side of the cage and to the x-axis. i) Calculate the maximum uncertainty in the hamster position. ii) Calculate the minimum uncertainty in the hamster's velocity.
