The speed of a 1kg object is 2.0m/s (+/-) .05m/s, meaning its absolute uncertainty is .5m/s, Calculate the percent uncertainty in its speed, and assuming negligible uncertainty in its mass, determine the percent uncertainty in its kinetic energy. Finally, calculate the absolute uncertainty in the kinetic energy in joules.
