A student measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate $g$ , the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are $e_1$ and $e_2$ respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of $g$ is

A

$e_2 - e_1$

B

$e_1 + 2e_2$

C

$e_1 + e_2$

D

$e_1 - 2e_2$

Accepted Answer

$ e_1 + 2e_2 $

Answer

$ e_2 - e_1 $

Answer

$ e_1 + e_2 $

Answer

$ e_1 - 2e_2 $
