Estimate relative uncertainties

Reference no: EM13697808

Problem: You drive along highway and want to estimate your average speed. You notice a sign indicating that it is 260 miles to Boston. In 45 min you pass another sign indicating 210 miles to Boston. Make reasonable assumptions for the absolute uncertainties of your time and distance measurements.

Part A: Estimate relative (percentage) uncertainties.

This is a physic problem, reply as soon as possible. Thanks.
