Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.45 Motion, Speed, Distance, and Time skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which choice best explains which trial is expected to give the smaller percent uncertainty in the calculated speed?

ATrial A, because shorter distances are always more accurate (about 34.667% vs 5.778%).

BNeither; percent uncertainty depends only on distance, not on time.

CBoth; percent uncertainty is the same as long as the object moves.

DTrial B, because ±0.2 s is a smaller fraction of a longer time (about 5.778% vs 34.667%).

Solution & Explanation:Percent uncertainty in time is (Δt/t)×100%. Longer measured times reduce Δt/t, which improves the accuracy of speed.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which value is the best estimate of the true speed from these trials?

AThe largest value: 3.11 m/s

BThe smallest value: 2.63 m/s

CThe average of the trials: 2.88 m/s

DAny single trial (for example, 2.7 m/s)

Solution & Explanation:Averaging multiple trials reduces the effect of random variation and usually gives the best estimate of the true value.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which value is the best estimate of the true speed from these trials?

AThe largest value: 3.39 m/s

BThe average of the trials: 3.14 m/s

CThe smallest value: 2.8 m/s

DAny single trial (for example, 3.05 m/s)

Solution & Explanation:Averaging multiple trials reduces the effect of random variation and usually gives the best estimate of the true value.
