The positions of two objects are measured to the same accuracy while their velocities are measured as accurately as the uncertainty principle allows. If one object has ten times the mass of the other, the more massive object has a velocity uncertainty which is
(A) 1/100
(B) 1/10
(C) the same as
(D) 10 times
the velocity uncertainty of the less massive object.

No. --- It does not depend on the mass squared.
