The energy of a system as a function of time t is given as E(t) = A 2 exp(-
t), where
= 0.2 s -1 . The measurement of A has an error of 1.25 %. If the error in the measurement of time is 1.50 %, the percentage error in the value of E(t) at t = 5 s is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
