The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understanding Kinetic Energy The formula for kinetic energy (K.E.) is given by: \[ K.E. = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity. ### Step 2: Finding the Percentage Error in K.E. To find the percentage error in kinetic energy, we can use the formula for the percentage error in a product or a function of variables. The percentage error in kinetic energy can be expressed as: \[ \frac{\Delta K.E.}{K.E.} = \frac{\Delta m}{m} + 2 \frac{\Delta v}{v} \] where \( \Delta m \) is the absolute error in mass and \( \Delta v \) is the absolute error in velocity. ### Step 3: Substituting the Given Values According to the problem, the percentage error in mass is \( 1\% \) and in velocity is \( 2\% \). We can substitute these values into the equation: - \( \frac{\Delta m}{m} = 0.01 \) (1%) - \( \frac{\Delta v}{v} = 0.02 \) (2%) Now, substituting these into the equation: \[ \frac{\Delta K.E.}{K.E.} = 0.01 + 2 \times 0.02 \] ### Step 4: Calculating the Total Percentage Error Now we calculate: \[ \frac{\Delta K.E.}{K.E.} = 0.01 + 0.04 = 0.05 \] Converting this to percentage: \[ \frac{\Delta K.E.}{K.E.} \times 100 = 0.05 \times 100 = 5\% \] ### Conclusion on the Assertion The assertion states that the percentage error in K.E. is \( 5\% \), which we have calculated to be true. ### Step 5: Analyzing the Reason The reason provided is: \[ \frac{\Delta K}{K} = \frac{\Delta m}{m} = 2 \frac{\Delta v}{v} \] This statement is incorrect because the correct relationship is: \[ \frac{\Delta K}{K} = \frac{\Delta m}{m} + 2 \frac{\Delta v}{v} \] Thus, the reason is false. ### Final Answer - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: False

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understanding Kinetic Energy The formula for kinetic energy (K.E.) is given by: \[ K.E. = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] where \( m \) is the mass and \( v \) is the velocity. ### Step 2: Finding the Percentage Error in K.E. ...
