yes, it is. The smaller the measurement, the higher the percentage error.

If percent error in measurement of mass is 3 percent and percent error in measurement of velocity is 4 percent then what will the percentage error in measurement of kinetic energy?

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 (mass) (velocity)2Measurement of mass is in error by 3%.Measurement of velocity is in error by 4%.If both are low, then KE is measured as(True KE) x (.97) x (.96)2 = 0.894 TKE = 10.6% low.If both are high, then KE is measured as(True KE) x (1.03) x (1.04)2 = 1.114 TKE = 11.4% high.If one is high and the other low, then the net error is in between these limits.


What is the greatest possible error for 14 ft?

The greatest possible error for a measurement is typically half of the smallest unit of measurement. In this case, the smallest unit of measurement is 1 foot, so the greatest possible error for a 14-foot measurement would be 0.5 feet. This means that the actual measurement could be as low as 13.5 feet or as high as 14.5 feet.


What does it mean to have a high percentage error?

It means that, relative to the true value of whatever you are trying to measure, the estimated (or calculated) value is quite a long way off.If the real value of something is 5 but is measure as 7 the absolute error is 7 - 5 = 2, but the percentage error is 100*2/5 = 40%If the true value is 100 and it is measured as 103, the absolute error is 103 - 100 = 3 which is greater than before. But the percentage error is only 100*3/100 = 3%.


What is the difference between low percent error and high percent error?

The difference between low percent error and high percent error is one is low and the other is high


What is a high percent error mean?

high percent error is the absolute value of something that is multiplied


Why is low concentration has high percent inhibition?

Inhibition percentage is calculated based on the difference between the control (no inhibitor) and the test (with inhibitor) activity. In a low concentration, even a small decrease in activity can lead to a high percentage inhibition compared to a high concentration where a larger decrease is needed to achieve the same percentage inhibition.


Which country has almost three times as high a percentage of population as land area?

Which instrument is suitable for measuring 230cm3 of liquid?

100cm 3 measuring cylinder. Unless you want to use a 50.00 cm3 burette but the percentage error would be high for that

A high percent error refers to?

A high percent error indicates that a certain value is very far from the accepted value. Percent error is the comparison of an estimated value to an exact one.


Electronic instruments are preferred because they have no indicating par?

fast responseElectronic instrument are preferred over conventional instrument because they possess high resolution , and high operating speed , low power consumption and low error on the measurement and also the coast effective means they are economical too.
