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

A student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 0.300 fg (where a femtogram, fg, is 10−15g) and is swimming at a velocity of v = 9.00 μm/s , with an uncertainty in the velocity of 6.00 % . E. coli bacterial cells are around 1 μm ( 10−6 m) in length. The student is supposed to observe the bacterium and make a drawing. However, the student, having just learned about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics class, complains that she cannot make the drawing. She claims that the uncertainty of the bacterium's position is greater than the microscope's viewing field, and the bacterium is thus impossible to locate. What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium? Express your answer with the appropriate units (m).
