Name: Date:Question 1: A tourist travels 80.9km in 3.03hours. The distance is correct to 1 decimal place. The time is correct to 2 decimal places. Calculate the upper and lower bounds of the average speed travelled. Give your answers to 3 decimal places.
Question 2: The formula to calculate voltage, V, (measured in volts) is V = IR where I is the current (in amps) and R is the resistance (in ohms).
I = 26.3 amps correct to 1 decimal place and R=53.29 ohms correct to 2 decimal places. By considering bounds calculate the voltage, V, to a suitable degree of accuracy. Give a reason for your answer.
Question 3: The formula to calculate pressure, P, (in Newtons/metre2) is P =
A
F
where F is the force in Newtons and A is the area in metres2.F = 48.1 Newtons correct to 1 decimal place and A=56.00m2 correct to 2 decimal places. By considering bounds calculate the pressure, P, to a suitable degree of accuracy. Give a reason for your answer.
Question 4: A crate is in the shape of a cuboid. It has a square base 2,360 millimetres wide, rounded to the nearest 10mm. The crate has a height of 1145 millimetres rounded to the nearest 5mm. Calculate the upper and lower bounds of the volume of the crate, in cubic metres. Give your answers to 3 decimal places.
