The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume.

Experimental Density:

Density = 153.8g / 20.00 cm^3
Density = 7.69g/cm^3

Percent error equation:

% Error = | Theoretical Value - Experimental Value|/Theoretical Value * 100
% Error = | 7.87g/cm^3 - 7.69g/cm^3|/7.87g/cm^3 * 100
% Error = 2.29%

Therefore a is the correct answer.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traffic moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traffic ligh
bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s

Name three types of energy that exist in a large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight. Explain why the charcoal has each
qaws [65]

Answer:

A large piece of charcoal on a grill in the sunlight (if it's burning) will consist of the following types of energy:

  1. Chemical
  2. Heat and
  3. Light

Explanation:

Charcoal is basically carbon which is produced when wood is heated strongly in the absence of oxygen. From a chemistry point of view, charcoal contains combustible carbon whose chemical formula is C. Sometimes, H_{2}O which is water may be found in it but in very small units.

All matter contains Heat energy. Charcoal is not an exception. As the charcoal burns, the heat energy is produced along with Light energy.

Light comes in many forms such as Infrared rays, Xrays, Visible Spectrum light, etc.

The glow which the coal gives off fall under the visible spectrum of light.

Cheers

How would the absence of gravity affect the formation of planets?
Doss [256]

Answer : The rocks and debris would never accrete into a planet.

Explanation : Gravity is an attraction force and dependents on the mass of the objects but in the absence of the force the rocks and debris would not come together to form a clump.

So,  we can say that in the absence of gravity, the rock and debris would never accrete into a planet.

I need some help w/ this:
pochemuha

Answer:

The velocity of the police car is, v = 17.798 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The actual frequency of the siren, f = 2010 Hz

The observed frequency of siren is, f' = 2120 Hz

The velocity of the observer, v' = 0 m/s

The velocity of the source, v = ?

The formula for Doppler effect,

                            f'=\frac{(V+v')}{(V-v)}f

Where,

                         V - velocity of sound waves in air.

                          v=V-(V+v')\frac{f}{f'}

Substituting the given values,

                         v=343-(343+0)\frac{2010}{2120}

                                 v = 17.798 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the police car is, v = 17.798 m/s
