    ________

    A. Identify which situation shows systematic error or random error.


    1. The flow of air causing the reading of the temperature to change from time to time.
    2. A student uses a ruler and reads his measurement always on one side of the reading.
    3. A volumetric cylinder that is used to measure the volume of the liquid has a bump on the cylinder.
    4. An ammeter shows a current of 0.1 A before we link it to the circuit.

    B: Solve the following problems about uncertainty. Use the back page for your complete solutions. You
    can use extra sheet of paper if necessary. Expected answers are indicated to check your solutions.

    1. (a) What is the percent uncertainty for the measurement given as 1.57 ± 0.1 m2, (b) 3.76 ± 0.05
    m, and (c) 142.5 ± 0.15 L?

    2. A bullet travels a distance of d =154 ± 0.05 m in the time t = 0.400 ± 0.001 s. What is the speed of
    the bullet? (Speed = d/t) 0.03; 0.25

    3. What is the area and approximate uncertainty of a triangle with a base of 3.1 mm ± 0.33% and a
    height of 5.07 mm ± 0.15%? (hint: 𝐴=𝑏ℎ/2)

    4. Find the mass of air in a living room with a 4.0 m ± 0.1% by 5.0 m ± 0.2% floor and a ceiling 3.0 m
    ± 0.01% high if the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. (Hint: mass = density x volume).

    5. A rectangle has a length of 4.50 ± 0. 01 in. and a width of 2.75 ± 0.05 in. (a) Determine its perimeter
    and approximate uncertainty (hint: P = 2L + 2w). (b) Find the area of the rectangle and its
    approximate uncertainty (hint: A = Lw).
