The percentage error in the measurement of mass and speed of a particular body is \(3 \%\) and \(4 \%\) respectively. The percentage error in the measurement of kinetic energy is

  1. A 9 %
  2. B \(10 \%\)
  3. C \(11 \%\)
  4. D \(12 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(11 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \) \( \frac{\Delta K}{K} \times 100\% = \frac{\Delta m}{m} \times 100\% + 2 \times \frac{\Delta v}{v} \times 100\% \)
