5. A standardized mass was known to weigh exactly 5.0000g. It was weighed on a newly
acquired, uncalibrated balance as 5.001g. Calculate the absolute error and the percent error.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Absolute error [tex]= 0.001[/tex]

% Error [tex]= 002[/tex] 5

Explanation:

The absolute error is the the difference in the measured value and the actual value of a quantity.

Here the actual value is [tex]5.0000[/tex] grams

The measured value is [tex]5.001[/tex] grams

Absolute error

[tex]5.001 - 5.000\\= 0.001[/tex]

Percent error

[tex]= \frac{AE}{AV}[/tex]

Where AE stands for absolute error and AV stands for absolute value.

[tex]= \frac{0.001}{5.000} * 100\\[/tex]

[tex]= 0.02[/tex] %
