Help plx wid full a-z explanation
Calculate the percentage uncertainties for all the values. The one with the largest percentage uncertainty should cause the highest uncertainty in the answer
A: .002/2.043 * 100
B: (2*0.02)/.52 *100 (multiply the uncertainty with 2 due to the exponent)
C: .01/19.62 * 100
D: 0.2/5.2 * 100

The answer should be B as it has the highest percentage uncertainty.
Can someone please help me with the concept of deriving physical equations??

Do you have physics pacific book? You will find a good explanation there... If you don't, i'll try explaining it here.

Phase difference = (x/lamda).360 or (x/lamda).2pie , where lamda = wave length and x = the horizontal displacement of the point from where new wave will be drawn.
you mean that if i have to find the phase difference of 2 points within wave, X will be the horizontal distance between those 2 points?

can someone give a model answer for this question?? the marking svheme doesnt make sense...
Explain why values of gravitational potential are always negative whereas values of
electric potential may be positive or negative.

due attration and repulsion the electric potential values are +ve and -ve where as in gravitational potential there's always attraction so everytime the -ve sign is included.
