The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the product of two quantities \( A \) and \( B \) along with their uncertainties. Here are the steps to find the value of \( AB \) and its associated error: ### Step 1: Identify the given values and uncertainties - \( A = 2.5 \, \text{ms}^{-1} \) with an uncertainty \( \Delta A = 0.5 \, \text{ms}^{-1} \) - \( B = 0.10 \, \text{s} \) with an uncertainty \( \Delta B = 0.01 \, \text{s} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the product \( AB \) To find the product \( AB \): \[ AB = A \times B = 2.5 \, \text{ms}^{-1} \times 0.10 \, \text{s} = 0.25 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the relative uncertainties The relative uncertainty in the product \( AB \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \frac{\Delta (AB)}{AB} = \frac{\Delta A}{A} + \frac{\Delta B}{B} \] Substituting the values: - Relative uncertainty in \( A \): \[ \frac{\Delta A}{A} = \frac{0.5}{2.5} = 0.2 \] - Relative uncertainty in \( B \): \[ \frac{\Delta B}{B} = \frac{0.01}{0.10} = 0.1 \] ### Step 4: Combine the relative uncertainties Now, we can add the relative uncertainties: \[ \frac{\Delta (AB)}{AB} = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the absolute uncertainty in \( AB \) Now, to find the absolute uncertainty \( \Delta (AB) \): \[ \Delta (AB) = AB \times \frac{\Delta (AB)}{AB} = 0.25 \times 0.3 = 0.075 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 6: Write the final result with uncertainty Thus, the value of \( AB \) with its uncertainty is: \[ AB = 0.25 \, \text{m} \pm 0.075 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 7: Rounding the uncertainty Rounding the uncertainty to two significant figures, we get: \[ AB = 0.25 \, \text{m} \pm 0.08 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer The final result is: \[ AB = 0.25 \, \text{m} \pm 0.08 \, \text{m} \] ---
