A student measures twj3 5hk+we+ f iku5y/bxn qc4d;o leng+crzw1lmkkns3(dc*v 9 y e, m5ths 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 fl z4t04)h;p6p*li; l mhqpa awrom the largest absolute uncertainty divided by the smallest measurement value. A and B have an absolute uncertainty of 0.1 cm, whilm4 ;hi p4hp06pl*z)t;l wqaale 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.
