Check Your Understanding A high school track coach has just purchased a new stopwatch. The stopwatch manual states the stopwatch has an uncertainty of ±0.05 s. Runners on the track coach’s learn regularly clock 100-rn sprints of 11.49 s to 15.01 s. At the school’s last track meet, the first-place sprinter came in at 12.04 s and the second-place sprinter came in a 12.07 s. Will the coach’s new stopwatch be helpful in timing the sprint team? Why or why not?
