Kognity IB Physics A.0 Measurements & Uncertainty (id: d206553aa)

[单选题]
The time for two events, ayj+ mjh4ew os5;j3rl4 and b, are measure p9:io1b1ocaf7 jas- ed to be $(5.1 \pm 0.1)s$ and $(4.9 \pm 0.1)s$ respectively. In which of the following quantities is the fractional(percent) uncertainty the smallest?

A. $a+b$
B. $a-b$
C. $a \times b$
D. $a/b$


参考答案:  A


本题详细解析:
C and D will both have identical p;o8x/ih7ieoflj 0 q8 h+7lkm fractional uncertainties. They cannot both be the smallest, so they must both be incorrect. A and B will have the same absolute uncertainty (0.2 s), but A is a large number (10) compared to B (0.2). Hence fractional uncertahlim7;k oohp iq8elx8f7/ j+0inty of A is the smallest.
