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 . and . The values and are the uncertainties on a and x respectively.
If a = 1.9 +/- 0.7 and x = -3.4+/-0.8 then what is the uncertainty on y
