If the error in the measurement of momentum of a particle is ( 
), then the error in
the measurement of kinetic energy is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Let the actual momentum of the particles be 
. Since, we know the error in the measurement
of momentum 
. Hence, new momentum would come out to be 
Kinetic energy with error, 
or 
or 
So, percentage change in kinetic energy,
