Given the value of possible error, the relative error of the measurement is 0.0095.

Given the data in the question;

  • Measurement taken; m = 4.2cm
  • Absolute or possible erorr; e = 0.04m
  • Relative error; RE = \ ?

<h3>Relative Error</h3>

Relative error is simply the ratio of the absolute or possible error of a measurement to the measurement its self.

Relative error is expressed as;

RE = \frac{e}{m}

Where e is the absolute or possible error and m is the measurement being taken.

To determine the relative error, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

RE = \frac{0.04cm}{4.2cm} \\\\RE = 0.0095%

Therefore, given the possible error, the relative error of the measurement is 0.0095.

Maria throws two stones from the top edge of a building with a speed of 20 m/s. She throws one straight down and the other strai
Georgia [21]

Maria throws two stones from the top edge of a building at a speed of 20 m/s, The time is mathematically given as

t=4.5 sec.

<h3>How much later is it before the second stone hits?</h3>

Generally, the equation for speed  is mathematically given as

V = u+at

Therefore

0 = 22-9.8xt.

t = 22 /9.8 sec

t = 2.24489.

The same time will be taken from max^m height to point O

The extra time is taken

t=4.49 sec.

t=4.5 sec.
