A student measures two lengths jwv8 vhxr 1 (ync06d39zclb/ woaj+g( 2cno+e5/* sjikfe ka.as follows: $$a = (10 \pm 0.1) \; cm$$ $$b = (20 \pm 0.1) \; cm$$
Which of the following quantities has the largest percentage uncertainty?

A. $a$
B. $b$
C. $a+b$
D. $a-b$


参考答案:  D


本题详细解析:
The largest percentage uncertainty will result from the largev4ldf* 9p,h.twlq 34 2dqogu cst absolute uncertainty dividdf .w l4lcdq *vp,29q 4hgout3ed by the smallest measurement value. A and B have an absolute uncertainty of 0.1 cm, while for C & D it is 0.2 cm. So the percentage uncertainties are: A 1%; B 0.5%; C 0.67%; and D 2%. Clearly D is the largest.
