Question

Some students do a lab experiment to find g the accelerartion due to gravity. The value they came up with experimentally was 11.25m/s2. The actual value for g is 9.81 m/s2. What is their percent error?

Answer 1

Answer:

about 14.68%

Explanation:

experimental value- actual value= error

(11.25-9.81) m/s square=error

error=1.44 m/s square

the percentage error=(1.44×100)÷9.81

=14.68% (about)
