    How Should Time and Distance Uncertainties Affect Calculations in Physics Labs?

    Homework Statement This is a lab question. I'll summarize with key information. Car traveling from Point A to Point B. You record the time and distance. "Since the odometer gave the distance within 100 m, you estimated the uncertainty in d to be (Δd = ±0.1 km). Regarding the time, even though...
