The distance s travelled by a particle in time t is s = ut-1/2 gt^2 The initial velocity of the particle was measured to be u = 1 .11 ± 0.01 m/s and the time interval of the experiment was t = 1.01 ± 0.1 s. The acceleration was taken to be g = 9.8 ± 0.1 m/s^{2} .With these measurements, the student estimates the total distance travelled. How should the student report the result ?
