Question

Suppose you measure the velocity of a mosquito to be 1.3 m/s with an error of .2 m/s. We approximate the mosquito to weight approximately equal to a grain of rice, which is on the order of magnitude of 10−6 kg. What is the error in the kinetic energy? Assume there is no rotational velocity. In the second answer box, enter units involving m, s, and kg to denote meters, seconds, and kilograms respectively. (Do not use J for Joules or N for Newtons.)

Answer with 2 significant figures of accuracy, ( i.e.with 2 nonzero numbers.)
