Q: What is the absolute error in a measurement of 50.0 cm if the true value is 52.0 cm? (2022)
Solution:
Absolute error = |Measured value - True value| = |50.0 cm - 52.0 cm| = 2.0 cm.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the measured value, which is 50.0 cm.
Step 2: Identify the true value, which is 52.0 cm.
Step 3: Subtract the measured value from the true value: 50.0 cm - 52.0 cm.
Step 4: Calculate the difference: 50.0 cm - 52.0 cm = -2.0 cm.
Step 5: Take the absolute value of the difference: |-2.0 cm| = 2.0 cm.
Step 6: The absolute error is 2.0 cm.
