What is the uncertainty in measurement when using a stopwatch to measure time?
o.1
Does the Heisenberg uncertainty principle apply to cars and airplanes?
Technically yes. However, the uncertainty is so small for such large objects that it's impossible to measure.
States that is imposible to know both the velocity and the position of a particle at the same time?
The heisenberg uncertainty principle is what you are thinking of. However, the relation you asked about does not exist. Most formalisms claim it as (uncertainty of position)(uncertainty of momentum) >= hbar/2. There is a somewhat more obscure and less useful relation (uncertainty of time)(uncertainty of energy) >= hbar/2. But in this relation the term of uncertainty of time is not so straightforward (but it does have an interesting meaning).
What does the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle mean?
In any measurement, the product of the uncertainty in position of an object and the uncertainty in its momentum, can never be less than Planck's Constant (actually h divided by 4 pi, but this gives an order of magnitude of this law). It is important to note that this uncertainty is NOT because we lack good enough instrumentation or we are not clever enough to reduce the uncertainty, it is an inherent uncertainty in the ACTUAL position and momentum of the object.
How can I find the uncertainty when a constant is divided by a value with an uncertainty?
Add up the relative uncertainties of both constant and of the divider
How do you get a probability?
The outcome of some events are cannot be determined in advance. There is an element of uncertainty in the outcome. Probability is a measure of this uncertainty.
Scientists use statistics to?
Find the likelihood of events whose outcomes include an element of uncertainty, or to find the measure of uncertainty in the outcome of events.
Can you measure quantum uncertainty?
You can measure some aspects of quantum uncertainty.
When is it useful to use probability?
When there is uncertainty about the outcome of a trial or experiment.
What is realistic uncertainty?
To me is not knowing the outcome of a situation and preparing for good or bad
A feeling of growing curiosity or anxious uncertainty about the outcome of events in a literary work.?
Suspense
How do you measure uncertainty?
To measure uncertainty, you need to know the precision of the instrument, which refers to the smallest unit that an instrument can measure. A measurement can then be represented with its associated uncertainty, such as X = (5 +/- 1) cm. In this case, the actual value can deviate from the mean (5cm) by 1cm, so the minimum and maximum values ate 4cm and 6cm respectively. The percentage uncertainty is calculated by (absolute uncertainty / mean value) * 100%.
What is a chance that a person takes without knowing the outcome?
The uncertainty of results is a charcateristic of a gamble, speculation or risk.

Does the Heisenberg uncertainty principle apply to cars and airplanes?
Technically yes. However, the uncertainty is so small for such large objects that it's impossible to measure.
How do you measure the uncertainty of a measuring tool?
You have to find the LC (the least countable) of the tool.
Does percent uncertainty measure accuracy?
Accuracy STD on the other hand measures precision.
