The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t

o within 0.1kmh. What is the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy, as a result of the imprecision in the measurement of her velocity?

Answer:

e=3367.2J

%e=1.43%

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J

E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J

%e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43%
