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 %.

Complete Question

The diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The distance the block slides before stopping is d = 0.313 \ m

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the diagram in the question is shown

From the diagram the angle is \theta = 25 ^o

         sin \theta  = \frac{h}{d}

Where h = h_b - h_a

     So      d sin \theta  = h_b - h_a

From the question we are told that

      The mass of the block is  m = 20 \ kg

       The mass of the pendulum is  m_p = 2 \ kg

       The velocity of the pendulum at the bottom of swing is v_p = 15 m/s

        The coefficient of restitution is  e =0.7

         The coefficient of kinetic friction is  \mu _k = 0.5

The velocity of the block after the impact is mathematically represented as

            v_2 f = \frac{m_b - em_p}{m_b + m_p}  * v_2 i + \frac{[1 + e] m_1}{m_1 + m_2 } v_p

Where  v_2 i is the velocity of the block  before collision which is  0

                  = \frac{20 - (0.7 * 2)}{(2 + 20)} * 0 + \frac{(1 + 0.7) * 2 }{2 + 20}   * 15

Substituting value

                   v_2 f = 2.310\  m/s

According to conservation of energy principle

      The energy at point a  =  energy at point b

So    PE_A + KE _A = PE_B + KE_B  +  E_F

Where  

         PE_A is the potential energy at A which is mathematically represented as

          PE_A = m_b gh_a = 0 at the bottom

      KE _A is the kinetic energy at A  which is mathematically represented as

               K_A = \frac{1}{2} m_b * v_2f^2                  

         PE_B is the potential energy at B which is mathematically represented as  

            PE_B = m_b gh

From the diagram h = h_b -h_a

       PE_B = m_b g(h_b - h_a)

KE _B is the kinetic energy at B  which is 0 (at the top )

Where is E_F is the workdone against velocity  which from the diagram is

      \mu_k m_b g cos 25 *d

So

   \frac{1}{2} m_b v_2 f^2  = m_b g h_b + \mu_k m_b g cos \25 * d

Substituting values

   \frac{1}{2}  * 20 * 2.310^2 = 20 * 9.8 * d sin(25)  + 0.5* 20 * 9.8 * cos 25 * d    

So

       d = 0.313 \ m

A bowling ball has a mass of 6 kg. What happens to its momentum when its speed increases from 2m/s to 4 m/s?
Vitek1552 [10]
Here, Initial momentum = mu = 6*2 = 12 Kg m/s
Final momentum = mv = 6*4 = 24 Kg m/s

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
