Answer:
Correct Answer: 48. (c)
Solution:
- (c) Percentage error in mass $(\frac{\Delta m}{m} \times 100)=2$ and percentage error in speed $(\frac{\Delta v}{v} \times 100)=3$.
Kinetic energy, $k=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$.
$\therefore$ Error in measurement of kinetic energy $\frac{\Delta K}{K}=\frac{\Delta m}{m}+2(\frac{\Delta v}{v})$
$=(\frac{2}{100})+(2 \times \frac{3}{100})=\frac{8}{100}=8 %$
$\therefore %$ age error $=8 %$.
