I did an experiment where we measure the velocity of two carts that push off from each other and we measure the velocity and find the momentum of each cart. The point is to prove that momentum is always conserved, so if the momentum is 0 at the beginning then it will be 0 at the end. I need to find the percent error for each final momentum that i got from my experiment, but how do I calculate a percent error when the accepted value is 0? I will always get 0%.
Say my observed value is 2. I do:
(([0 - 2]) / 0) x 100
But this is gonna equal 0% and so will any other value!
Help!
