QuestionCalculate the absolute and relative error for a measurement of 11.1 m11.1 \mathrm{~m} when the true value is 10.0 m10.0 \mathrm{~m}.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the relative error.
RelativeError=1.1 m10.0 m=0.11Relative\, Error = \frac{1.1 \mathrm{~m}}{10.0 \mathrm{~m}} =0.11The absolute error of the scientist's measurement is 1.1 m1.1 \mathrm{~m} and the relative error is 0.110.11 or 11%11\%.
