Assalamualaikum,

Guys, I need help with the uncertainty in measurements of instruments used. Can anyone help me out by listing the uncertainties. eg metre rule.

Also, is human error considered as uncertainty too? If yes, then please consider this case:
When a ball is allowed to free fall for 2 s, do we need to add the uncertainty when quoting the measurement for the time taken?( which is 2 s+ 0.01 s = 2.01 s ) or purely based on the stopwatch alone.

0.01s for human reaction time.
