Position and velocity are Fourier transform pairs, hence obey an uncertainty principle
Evidence
Time and frequency are the Fourier transform pair that concern us in this book. There are many other examples of Fourier transform pairs: quantities that are related by a Fourier transform. Anything that behaves as a wave has an uncertainty principle connecting Fourier transform pairs. — Eric J. Heller, Why You Hear What You Hear- An…, 433 (
