The distance x of a particle from a fixed point at time t is given by, x = 5 + Asin 2t + B cos 2t, where A and b are given to be 3 and 4 respectively. However, it is found on measurement that there is a 1% erroe in the maximum value of x and this is due to an error in A only. Find the percentage error in A.

please help with the two boxes that i have circled with a green color based on my data! g=9.8 m/s is the accepted value and the equation g= 4 pie etc whatever that equation is, is the measured value to find the percentage error! and please then answer the three questions on the bottom
The position of a particle moving along the x axis may be determined from the expression x(t) = btu + ctv, where x will be in meters when t is in seconds. What will be the dimensions of b and c in this case if u = 6 and v = 13? (Use the following as necessary: L for length and T for time.)
Find the uncertainty in a calculated average speed from the measurements of distance and time. Average speed depends on distance and time according to this function v(t,x) = x/t. Your measured distance and time have the following values and uncertainties x = 9.8 meters, Sx = 1.1 meters and t = 9.4 seconds and St = 1.4 seconds. What is the uncertainty in the average speed, Sv
Problem 4: The center of a moon of mass m= 2 x 1023 kg is a distance D = 28 × 10° km from the center of a planet of mass M = 19.9 × 1023 kg. At some distance x from the center of the planet, along a line connecting the centers of planet and moon, the net force on an object will be zero.
At 9:13 A.M., a sports car is traveling 30 miles per hour. Two minutes later, the car is traveling 90 miles per hour. The mean value theorem guarantees that at some time during this two-minute interval, the car's acceleration is exactly A miles per hour squared. Compute the value of A. A = mi/h² Need Help? Read It
After conducting the signal speed experiment a student has recorded the following data. L₂ (m) 1.5 3 4.5 8 15 30 dt (ns) 6.50 13.72 21.02 38.10 72.20 145.42 L2 is the length of the longer cable in meters and dt is the measured time delay in nanoseconds. The student neglected to record L₁, the length of the shorter cable. After speaking with their instructor, they learn all is not lost. They know the speed of the signal can be calculated based on the distance traveled divided by the time. However, the recorded times measure how much longer the signal had to travel in L2 compared to L₁. A little bit of thought convinces them (correctly) that

Find the uncertainty in a calculated average speed from the measurements of distance and time. Average speed depends on distance and time according to this function v(t,x) = x/t. Your measured distance and time have the following values and uncertainties x 3 meters, x =0,1 meters and t 1.8 seconds and 5t = 1.5 seconds. What is the uncertainty in the average speed, bV ? Units are not needed in your answer.
