Answer:

2.63 %.

Explanation:

Given that,

The calculated value of the specific heat of water is 4.29 J/g.C

Original value of specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g.C.

We need to find the student's percent error. The percentage error in any quantity is given by :

$P=\dfrac{|\text{original value-calculated value}|}{\text{original value}}\times 100\\\\P=\dfrac{4.29-4.18}{4.18}\times 100\\\\P=2.63\%$

So, the student's percent error is 2.63 %.

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.

Alecsey [184]

Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as

$h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

here we know that

$h = 18 m$

$g = 9.8 m/s^2$

now by the above formula

$18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2$

$18 = 4.9 t^2$

$t = 1.92 s$

now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be

$d = v_x * t$

$d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m$

so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position

What is a fixed volume

nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!

A student team is to design a human powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is

Allushta [10]

Answer:

a) The speed is 61.42 m/s

b) The drag force is 10.32 N

Explanation:

a) The Reynold´s number for the model and prototype is:

$Re_{m} =\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m} }{u_{m} }$

$Re_{p} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} }{u_{p} }$

Equaling both Reynold's number:

$\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} }{u_{p} }=\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m} }{u_{m} }$

Clearing Vm:

$V_{m} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} u_{m} }{u_{p} p_{m} L_{m} }=\frac{999.1*0.56*8*1.849x10^{-5} }{1.138x10^{-3}*1.184*1 } =61.42m/s$

b) The drag force is:

$\frac{F_{Dm} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2} } =\frac{F_{Dp} }{p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2} } \\F_{Dp} =\frac{F_{Dp}p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2} } \\F_{Dp}=\frac{2.3*999.1*0.56^{2} *8^{2} }{1.184*61.42^{2}*1^{2} } =10.32N$
