[填空题]
A force of 10.0 ± 0.2 N is applied u*l: rn)kjpj/*w l vn)to a mass of 2.0 ± 0.01 kg, causing it to acwm72 yy(ai-l+zvx+nj celerate. What is the percentage uncertainty of its accelerati- 2ylw+7jxz+m nya iv(on? % (do not include the percent sign in your result)
参考答案: 2.50
本题详细解析: The acceleration is calculated using the formulmk+ cog4g8 7aia: $$ a=\frac{F}{m} $$ so the percentage uncertainty on the acceleration is the sum of the percentage error on the force and on the mass. The percentage uncertainty on the force is: $$ \frac{0.2}{10.0} \times 100 \%=2 \% $$ The percentage uncertainty on the mass is:
$$ \frac{0.1}{2.0} \times 100 \%=5 \% . $$ Hence the percentage error on the acceleration will be $7 \%$.
