If there is a positive error of 50% in ...

If there is a positive error of ` 50%` in the measurement of velocity of a body , find the error in the measurement of kinetic energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Kinetic energy , ` E = (1)/(2) mv^(2)`
:. `(Delta E)/( E) xx 100 = (( Delta m)/(m) + ( 2 Delta v )/( v)) xx 100`
Here `Delta m = 0 and (Delta v) /( v) xx 100 = 50%`
:. `( Delta E)/(E) xx 100 = 2 xx 50 = 100%`
