    Wavelength = plancks constant / (mass*velocity)

    plancks constant = 6.63*10^-34 with units of J-s or kg-m^2/s^2-s

    mass = 143g = 0.143kg

    velocity = 95mi/1hr (1609.3m/1mi) (1hr/3600sec) = 42.4676m/s

    h/mv = 6.63*10^-34kg-m^2/s^2-s / (42.4676m/s*0.143kg ...

    wavelength = 1.3*10^-34 m (really small)

    good luck! (always make sure units cancel out)
