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 %.

A 20-kg boy slides down a smooth, snow-covered hill on a plastic disk. The hill is at a 10° angle to the horizontal, and the slo

zvonat [6]

Answer:

13 m/s

Explanation:

I assume we are ignoring friction.

The boy's PE will all be converted to KE at the bottom of the hill.

to find PE = mgh we need to know h

h = 50 sin 10 = 8.68 meters

then: PE = 20 * 9.81 * 8.68 =<u> 1703.49</u> j

KE = 1/2 m v^2 = <u>1703 .49</u>

v = 13 m/s

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

$L$ = length of the meter stick = 1 m

$m$ = mass of the meter stick

$w$ = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

$v$ = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

$v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}$

$h$ = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = $\frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m$

$I$ = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

$I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}$

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

$(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}$

An electrician wraps rubber electrical tape around a copper wire. Since rubber is an insulator, which statement best explains th

yuradex [85]

A) Rubber stops charges from flowing. This protects people by stopping electricity from flowing.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the point of wrapping rubber around the copper wire is that the rubber stops charges from flowing. This prevents people from getting electrical shocks by stopping the flow of electricity.

A rubber is an insulator.
Insulators are substances that prevents the flow of electricity.
The lack free mobile electrons or ions that makes them conductors.
When they are wrapped round a conductor such as copper wire, they will halt the flow of charges.
Copper is a conductor of both heat and electricity. It has free mobile electrons.

What is true about the relationship between the kinetic energy of molecules in an object and the objects temperature?

vekshin1

As the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, if u add more heat you get more kinetic energy.
