You are measuring the average speed of your well-trained dog. The dog runs to the end of a field and back to you. You measure the length of the field, L, and the round-trip time, t, with their uncertainties ΔL and Δt, to calculate the average speed of the dog: v = 2L/t. Using the multiplication and division rule for propagation of uncertainties, select the expression for the absolute uncertainty in the average speed.
Form: r= xy or r= x/y
Rule: Δr/r= Δx/x+ Δy/y

You measure the length of a board with a ruler that is older and has a worn-down end. If you align the end of the board with the end of the ruler, what type of uncertainty does the end of the ruler contribute to the measurement? A) Random B) Systematic The average height of children in kindergarten in Winnipeg is found by measuring the height of one randomly-selected child in every kindergarten class in the city. What type of uncertainty...
QUESTION 8 Find the uncertainty in a calculated average speed from the measurements of distance and time. Average speed depends on distance and time according to this function vitx)-x/t Your measured distance and time have the following values and uncertainties x-47 meters, x12 meters and t-87 seconds and St16 seconds. What is the uncertainty in the average speed, 5v? Units are not needed in your answer QUESTION 9 Find the uncertainty in a calculated electrical potential difference from the measurements...
