The period T of a simple pendulum is given by T = 2π p L/g where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Thus if L and T are measured, we can estimate g with g = 4π 2L/T2 . Assume that the period is known to be T = 1.5 s with negligible uncertainty, and that L is measured to be 0.559 ± 0.005 m. Estimate g, and find the uncertainty in the estimate. Also, find the relative uncertainty. (Hint: If uncertainty for T is negligible, it can be treated as a constant, i.e. g = 4π 2L/1.5 2 .)

Answer: Uncertainty of Speed = 0.3301 m/s A traffic patrol officer uses a UAV with a camera to measure the transit time of vehicles between two-mile markers to measure the speed of vehicles on a major highway. A certain vehicle passes through the two-mile markers with an average speed of 77 miles per hour, and the distance between the markers is 5280 ft ± (50 ft). If the officer uses a stopwatch to measure the transit time, and his reaction time uncertainty to any single event is 0.05 sec, what is the uncertainty in the aircraft-based speed measurement? calculation work shown either by hand or mathcad
