Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia A father brings in his 3-year-old son, James, who was initially running a fever. He was given Tylenol, and the fever went away for 2 days. Now, however, the fever is back, and he has noted dark spots on his body and a lump in his armpit. He has been lethargic and has not wanted to eat for the last 24 hours. The physician suspects acute lymphocytic leukemia and has ordered blood chemistry studies, immunophenotyping, and bone...

1) Find the uncertainty in kinetic energy. Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity according to this function E(m,v) = 1/2 m v2. Your measured mass and velocity have the following uncertainties     0.01 kg and   0.37 m/s. What is is the uncertainty in energy,  , if the measured mass, m = 0.68 kg and the measured velocity, v = 1.09 m/s? Units are not needed in your answer 2) The propagation of uncertainty formula for the equation y = ax^2 is where ,and  ....
