Question

JUST D AND E

1
A speed of 59 010 000 000 feet per minute is indicated:
A)
convert it to the MKS system of units. Some conversions are listed here:
12 inches per foot, 2.54 cm per inch, 0.621371 miles is 1 km.
B) rewrite it in scientific notation,
C) indicate the number of significant figures,
D) indicate the approximate uncertainty implied as an absolute quantity and
E) indicate the approximate uncertainty as a percent uncertainty,

Expert Solution

Step 1

Approximate uncertainty: Square the results after removing the mean from each measured value. tally up all values subtracted. By the square root of the total number of measurements, divide the outcome.
