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%

The table represents the height of a ball thrown up from the roof of a building, h(t), in meters, t seconds after it is thrown u
Anna [14]
• The ball is at the same height as the building between 8 and 10 seconds after it is thrown. TRUE - the height is zero somewhere in that interval, hence the ball is the same height from which it was thrown, the height of the roof of the building.

• The height of the ball decreases and then increases. FALSE - at t=2, the height is greater than at t=0.

• The ball reaches its maximum height about 4 seconds after it is thrown. TRUE - the largest number in the table corresponds to t=4.

• The ball hits the ground between 8 and 10 seconds after it is thrown. FALSE - see statement 1.

• The height of the building is 81.6 meters. FALSE - the maximum height above the building is 81.6 meters. Since the ball continues its travel to a distance 225.6 meters below the roof of the building, the building is at least that high.
