Question

Carlos is analyzing the results of a recent scientific study about gravity. Scientists recorded that the experimental value of gravity was 10.24 m/s² and the general accepted value of gravity is 9.81 m/s². Calculate the percent error of the experimental versus accepted values of gravity. 5.01% 4.38% 2.66% 9.27%

Answer 1

Answer:

4.38%

Explanation:

Subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

Take the absolute value of step 1.

Divide that answer by the accepted value.

Multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.
