quantum mechanics - Violation of the uncertainty principle


Suppose we have two small masses both with the same velocity. Their mass is $m$ and velocity is $v$ and $-v$ respectively. So they collide at some point and the collision is a perfect elastic one. We mark this point as the origin.


Now we can know the velocity of any particle which will be $v$. So its momentum will be $mv$. Now after $t$ seconds its displacement from the origin will be $vt$.



Now we know the momentum and position of the small mass at the same time. Isn't it the violation of the uncertainty principle? Where am I wrong?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
