Current Question (ID: 12059)

Question:
A body travels uniformly a distance of $(13.8\pm0.2)\text{ m}$ in a time $(4.0\pm0.3)\text{ s}$. The velocity of the body within error limits is
Options:
  • 1. $(3.45\pm0.2)ms^{-1}$
  • 2. $(3.45\pm0.3)ms^{-1}$
  • 3. $(3.45\pm0.4)ms^{-1}$
  • 4. $(3.45\pm0.5)ms^{-1}$
Solution:
First, calculate the velocity: $v = \frac{s}{t} = \frac{13.8}{4.0} = 3.45\text{ m/s}$. To find the error in velocity, we use the percentage error formula for division: $\frac{\Delta v}{v} = \frac{\Delta s}{s} + \frac{\Delta t}{t}$. $\%\text{ error in s} = \frac{0.2}{13.8}\times100 \approx 1.45\%$. $\%\text{ error in t} = \frac{0.3}{4.0}\times100 = 7.5\%$. Total percentage error in velocity = $1.45\% + 7.5\% = 8.95\%$. This is incorrect based on the options. Let's re-evaluate using the absolute error. $\frac{\Delta v}{v} = \frac{\Delta s}{s} + \frac{\Delta t}{t} = \frac{0.2}{13.8} + \frac{0.3}{4.0} \approx 0.0145 + 0.075 = 0.0895$. $\Delta v = v \times 0.0895 = 3.45 \times 0.0895 \approx 0.3087\text{ m/s}$. Rounding this value gives us $(3.45 \pm 0.3)\text{ m/s}$.
