COMEDK · Physics · 27. Dual Nature of Matter

A body accelerates from rest with a uniform acceleration \(a\) for a time \(t\). The uncertainty in \(a\) is \(8 \%\) and the uncertainty in \(t\) is \(4 \%\). The uncertainty in the speed is

  1. A \(32 \%\)
  2. B \(12 \%\)
  3. C \(8 \%\)
  4. D \(2 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(12 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, uncertainity in acceleration, \(\frac{\Delta a}{a} \times 100=8 \%\) Uncertainity in time, \(\frac{\Delta t}{t} \times 100=4 \%\) Since, body starts motion from rest, hence by the first equation of motion,…
