A student uses a digital ammeter to measure a current. The reading of the ammeter is found to
fluctuate between 1.98 A and 2.02 A.

The manufacturer of the ammeter states that any reading has a systematic uncertainty of ± 1 %.

Which value of current should be quoted by the student?
A (2.00 ± 0.01) A
B (2.00 ± 0.02) A
C (2.00 ± 0.03) A
D (2.00 ± 0.04) A

How is the answer D?
The readings fluctuate and the uncertainty is 1%. So, the lowest value should be (1.98-(1.98*1%))=1.96. The highest value should be (2.02+(2.02*1%))=2.04. So the current value should be quoted as in D.

Q15=a is always in the direction of the resultant force...eg if the resistive force is greater than the velocity the object will decelerate..which means the direction of a is opposite to the direction of velocity

sorry
but can you give another eg please.

e.g parachute falling in the air...it initially accelerates because of Weight>air resistance....as air resistance increases its speed begins to decrease...nd as air resistance>weight...the resultant force is in the direction of air resistance so the object accelerates no more and decelerates....the direction of acceleration becomes negative...opposite to the direction of velocity...(resultant force and acceleration in the same direction)
