1.

The percentage error in the mass and speed are 2% and 3% respectively. What is the maximum error in kinetic energy calculated using these quantities?

Answer»

SOLUTION :`(Delta m)/(m) XX 100= 2%, (Delta v)/(v) xx 100= 3%`
KINETIC energy `E= (1)/(2) mv^(2)`
Maximum error in kinetic energy
`(Delta E)/(E )xx 100= (Delta m)/(m) xx 100 + 2 (Delta v)/(v) xx 100`
Maximum error in kinetic energy
`=2% + 2 xx 3% = 2 % + 6% = 8%`
