Kinetic Energy K = (1/2) m v2
Take log of both sides.
log(K) = log(1/2) + log(m) + 2 log(v)
Now, differentiate both sides.
Differential of log(x) is 1/x dx.
x can be anything.
So, here, we have
(1/K) dK = 0 + (1/m) dm + 2 (1/v) dv [Because log(1/2) is a constant, and derivative of any constant is zero]
Now, dK is nothing but delta(K).
So, dK is the error in measurement of K.
dK/K is the relative error in measurement of K.
Percentage error is relative error x 100
Hence,
dK/K = dm/m + 2 dv/v
We are given that dv/v = 10% = 0.1
dm/m is not given. So we will assume there is no error in measurement of m.
Therefore, Relative error in measurement of K = dK/K = 0 + 2(0.1) = 0.2
Percentage error = 0.2 x 100 = 20 %
error in KE turns out to be dm/m+2dv/v when we differentiate the expression for KE.
Assuming no error in mass measurement the error in KE should be 2*10 percent=>20%.
