Percentage erros in the measurement of mass and speed are 2% and 3% respectively. The error in the estimation of kinetic energy obtained by measuring mass and speed will be:

A

0.05

B

0.01

C

0.08

D

0.11

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`KE=E=1/2mv^(2)" "(DeltaE)/Exx100=(Deltam)/mxx100+(2DeltaV)/Vxx100=2+2xx3=8%`
