In multiplication and division of measurement______________?
Correct answer: A. Percentage uncertainties are added
- A. Percentage uncertainties are added
- B. Absolute uncertainties are added
- C. Percentage uncertainties are divided
- D. Absolute uncertainties are divided
Explanation
For multiplication or division, fractional uncertainties combine, so percentage uncertainties are added. For example, if x = ab, then the percentage uncertainty in x is the percentage uncertainty in a plus that in b. Students may choose B by applying the addition rule for absolute uncertainties, which belongs to sums and differences.

About Displacement and Velocity
Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
