本题目来源于试卷: Kognity IB Physics A.0 Measurements & Uncertainty,类别为 IBDP Physics

[填空题]
A rectangle was drawn usit1i7/*xs. nqm9 vc xbengpfudd9 7v+56h2og3k8jt x st q a ruler, such that each measurement has an uncertainty hxj5t2 fd6 9toqv 3s gpd+7uk8of $0.5 \mathrm{~cm} .$

What is the absolute uncertainty in the area of the entire rectangle (i.e. combined small and big rectangles), in $\mathrm{cm}^2$ ?    $cm^2$ (please only input numerical value without units and without the $\pm$ symbol.)




参考答案: 11


本题详细解析:
The sides of the rectangle v(2qtn y.p2tf1-x hsmle(kt/ f -mw+r( c;ixiare $(5.0 \pm 0.5) \mathrm{cm}$ and $(12.0 \pm 1.0) \mathrm{cm}$. Note that the length of the long side of the rectangle is calculated using two separate length calculations, each with an uncertainty of $\pm 0.5 \mathrm{~cm}$, giving a total uncertainty of $\pm 1.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ for that side. The fractional uncertainty on the area will be: $\frac{\Delta A}{A}=\frac{0.5}{5.0}+\frac{1.0}{12.0}=0.18$ The area of the rectangle is: $A=5.0 \times 12.0=60 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ so the absolute uncertainty on the area is: $\Delta A=0.18 \times 60=11 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
