Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A student measures the width of a table as 1.2 m with a possible error of 0.02 m. What is the range of the true width?
  • Step 1: Identify the measured value of the table's width, which is 1.2 m.
  • Step 2: Identify the possible error in the measurement, which is 0.02 m.
  • Step 3: To find the range of the true width, subtract the possible error from the measured value: 1.2 m - 0.02 m = 1.18 m.
  • Step 4: Now, add the possible error to the measured value: 1.2 m + 0.02 m = 1.22 m.
  • Step 5: The range of the true width is from 1.18 m to 1.22 m.
  • Measurement and Error Analysis – Understanding how to calculate the range of a true value based on a measured value and its associated error.
