1. A student is using a track photogate to determine the time it takes her to run 50 meters. She records the following times: Trial Time (seconds) 1 5.420 5.464 3 5.728 4 5.496 5 5.644 6. 5.794 7 5.540 The data she collects has a mean of 5.583714 seconds, with an absolute uncertainty computed to be 0.141074 seconds. Report her 50-meter time as a confidence interval (а) using the mean and the absolute uncertainty given above. Another student measures his 200-meter run time (b) to be 20.7 ± 0.3 seconds. Report the relative uncertainty of each student and identify which has the more precise run time.

Problem 13: In this problem, the symbols M, L, and T represent the dimensions mass, length, and time, respectively. Consider the physical quantities s, v, a, and t with dimensions [s] = L, [v] = LT-1, [a] = LT-2, and [t] = T.

A student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 0.300 fg (where a femtogram, fg, is 10−15g) and is swimming at a velocity of v = 9.00 μm/s , with an uncertainty in the velocity of 6.00 % . E. coli bacterial cells are around 1 μm ( 10−6 m) in length. The student is supposed to observe the bacterium and make a drawing. However, the student, having just learned about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics class, complains that she cannot make the drawing. She claims that the uncertainty of the bacterium's position is greater than the microscope's viewing field, and the bacterium is thus impossible to locate. What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium? Express your answer with the appropriate units (m).
