Question 1

What does the partial derivative measure?

  • The overall change of a function
  • The change with respect to one variable
  • The average of multiple values

💡 Hint: Remember the definition of derivative and context.

Question 2

True or False: When combining uncertainties from multiplication, we add the absolute uncertainties directly.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how multiplication affects uncertainty.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a function f(x, y) = x * y, where x = 1.5 ± 0.1 and y = 2 ± 0.05. Propagate the uncertainty of the function’s value.

💡 Hint: Focus on the multiplication rule for uncertainties.

Question 2

Measurements of temperature yield T = 25 ± 0.5 °C and volume = 10.0 ± 0.2 L. If the pressure P is defined by P = (nRT/V), calculate the propagated uncertainty for pressure assuming ideal gas conditions.

💡 Hint: Keep in mind how each component forms the final pressure calculation.
