(II) Time intervals measured with a stopwatch typically have an uncertainty of about 0.2 s, due to human reaction time at the st
art and stop moments.What is the percent uncertainty of a hand-timed measurement of (a) 5.5 s, (b) 55 s, (c) 5.5 min?
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) 36.36%
(b) 0.36%
(c) 0.06%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the time intervals measured with a stopwatch have an uncertainty of about 0.2 s.
We want to know what is the percent uncertainty of a hand-timed measurement of:
(a) 5.5 s
Percentage = (0.2/5.5) × 100
≈ 36.36%
(b) 55 s
Percentage = (0.2/55)×100
≈ 0.36%
(c) 5.5 min
5.5 min = 5.5 × 60 s
= 330 s
Percentage = (0.2/330)×100
≈ 0.06%

Answer:
3 I think not sure.........
Each pad of paper cost 3.25. Here is how I found it.
21.75 x 3 = 65.25
75 - 65.25 = 9.75
9.75 / 3 = 3.25
X = 3.25
