Why is it important to take multiple reading to accurately measure a physical quantity
A person (he/she) measures heart rate by counting the number of beats in 30 sec.-If 45 ± 2 beats are counted (in exactly 30sec), find the percent uncertainty in the measurement of heartbeats per minute? *If 45 ± 2 beats are counted in 30.0 ± 0.5 sec, what is the minimum of the range of values one expects for the heart rate in beats per minute? *If 45 ± 2 beats are counted in 30.0 ± 0.5 sec, what is maximum heart rate in beats per minute?
