A molecule of mass 2.0×10-24Kg is moving along at a speed of 100±10 m/sec, where the ±10 m/sec is the statistical spread or uncertainty in the determination of its velocity or ∆v = 10 m/sec. The molecule is somewhat localized in space and is described by a travelling wave packet solution to the Schrödinger equation centered around x=0 at t=0 and moving in the positive x-direction.
