Find the uncertainty in kinetic energy. Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity according to this function E(m,v) = 1/2 m

Question

Find the uncertainty in kinetic energy. Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity according to this function E(m,v) = 1/2 m v2. Your measured mass and velocity have the following uncertainties Sm= 0.45 kg and Sv 1.12 m/s. What is is the uncertainty in energy, SE, if the measured mass, m = 3.24 kg and the measured velocity, v = 11.88 m/s? Units are not needed in your answer.
