A student working with a loaded glider on a linear air track determines that the mass ottne glider is (166.0 ± 0.1) x 10 -3 kg. At a paäicular instant ne determines its speed on the air track to be 
(2.00 ± 0.20) ms -1. Calculate the kinetic energy ottne glider witn its associated unceäainty by filling in the table below. 
The kinetic energy should be given to 3

In an electric jug a potential difference, V, of (1200 ± 5.0%) volts is applied across a coil ot electrical resistance, R, ot (80 ± 08) Q. 
Determine the power, P, dissipated in the coil according to the relationship: 
p = v2/R 
by completing the table below Include error estimates. Remember that the absolute error should nave the same number ot decimal places as the value. The calculated values need to nave 
the same number ot significant figures as the data in the questiom 
P should be given to 2 '
