MCQ
The percentage error in measurement of mass and speed are $3\%$ and $2\%$ then error in kinetic energy will be .......... $\%$
  • A
    $6$
  • $7$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $12$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$7$
b
$E = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}$

$\%%$ Error in $K.E$. $= \%$ error in mass $+ 2 × \%$ error in velocity $= 3 + 2 \times 2 = 7 \%$
