The values of kinetic energy ‘K’ and potential energy ‘U’ are measured as follows :

    K = 100.0 \pm 2.0 J

U = 200.0 \pm 1.0 J

Then the percentage error in the measurement of mechanical energy is :

Option: 1

2.5 %


Option: 2

1 %


Option: 3

0.5 %


Option: 4

1.5 %

M_{E}=K+U=300.0\pm 3.0J=E\pm \Delta E.

\therefore \frac{\Delta E}{E}\times 100=1 \%
