The distance $s$ travelled by a particle in time $t$ is $s=u t-\frac{1}{2} \,g t^{2}$. The initial velocity of the particle was measured to be $u=1.11 \pm 0.01 \,m / s$ and the time interval of the experiment was $t=1.01 \pm 0.1 \,s$. The acceleration was taken to be $g=9.8 \pm 0.1 \,m / s ^{2}$. With these measurements, the student estimates the total distance travelled. How should the student report the result?
  • A$1121 \pm 0.1 \,m$
  • B$11 \pm 0.1 \,m$
  • C$112 \pm 0.07 \,m$
  • D$11 \pm 0.07 \,m$

    In a particular system of units, a physical quantity can be expressed in terms of the electric charge $c$, electron mass $m_c$, Planck's constant $h$, and Coulomb's constant $k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$, where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of vacuum. In terms of these physical constants, the dimension of the magnetic field is $[B]=[c]^\alpha\left[m_c\right]^\beta[h]^\gamma[k]^\delta$. The value of $\alpha+\beta+\gamma+\delta$ is. . . . .
