Asked by Person

Suppose that you measure the velocity of an object by measuring that it takes 1 second to travel 1.2 meters. The measurement error is .001 meters in distance, and the error in time is .01 second. What is the absolute value of the error in the linear approximation for the velocity?

|∆v| ≤ ???
