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.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.

In addition to an all-round white light, what light(s) must power-driven vessels less than 65.6 feet (20 meters) long exhibit wh
Lemur [1.5K]
The vessel must also have red and green side lights.

The red light is placed on the port (left) side of the boat while the green light is placed on the starboard (right) side of the vehicle. The white lights are on both the masthead (front) and stern (rear) of the boat, unless the vessel is less than 39.4 feet, in which case the front and rear white light may be combined as only one white light.
