There are several ways to calculate uncertainty. You can round a decimal place to the same place as an uncertainty, put the uncertainty in proper form, or calculate uncertainty from a measurement.
If the distance is known to perfection, an acceleration is constant, then the absolute error in the calculation of acceleration is 2/t3, where t is the measured time.
When involving in scientific experiments, it is very important to make measurement. In each and every measurement we take, say a length, time, angle etc. we have to use a particular instrument. As every instrument has a least count (also known as the minimal reading), there will be an uncertainty left. As an example, consider a measurement using a vernier caliper as at 10.00 cm, there will be an error of 0.01cm. If we do the same measurement by a meter ruler, there'll be an error of 0.1 cm, or 1 mm. Therefore the uncertainty of a particular measurement is dependent on the instrument it has been taken. As a convention we take the 1/2 of the least count for analog instruments and the least count for digital instruments as its uncertainty.
No, its more certain than 23.5 mL
Basically your uncertainty is the innaccuracy or your measurement. For instance if you had a yard ruler that was marked only in inches and the length of the object you were measuring lied somewhere between 12 and 13 inches; you could state that the objects length is 12 1/2 inches ± 1/2 inch. The ± 1/2 part is your uncertainty, it means the measurement could be either 1/2 inch longer or shorter than your stated measurement.

When giving the result of the measurement, its important to state the precision or estimated uncertainty, in the measurement. The percent uncertainty is simply the radio of the uncertainty to the measured value, multiplied by 100. 4.19m take the last decimal unit, is 9 but with value of 1/100 .01 is the uncertainty Now, .01/4.19 x 100 % = 0.24%

The length of a meter.
completely: coin is simple probability, quantum uncertainty is based on how increasing accuracy of measurement of one property of a tiny particle reduces the accuracy of measurement of another complementary property of the same particle. No probability there, just measurement limitations.
Same way as for anything else: run multiple samples and do a statistical analysis on the results, just like you (should have) learned in analytical chemistry class.

No, no measurement we can ever do will be entirely free of uncertainties. In some measurements the uncertainties might be negligible however. In any best precise & accurate measurement there will be minimum uncertainty equal to h/2pie, that's in accordance to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
There are many, but the most important are usually - the person doing the measuring, the mesuring device, the environment where the measurement is being made and variability in the item being measured.
I suppose that you think to 4,6±0,2; 0,2 is the uncertainty of the measurement.
