Answer:
Explanation:
I will try to use newton’s second law and its’ concept of spring. The detailed solution is shown it the documents and I also used some mathematical concept which is highlighted.
<span>A rock is dropped from a sea cliff and hits the water 3.2s later. How high is the cliff?
t = sqrt(2y/g)
3.2 = sqrt(2y/9.81)
y = 50.23 m
</span><span>How long would it take sound to travel the same distance?
t = 50.23 / </span><span>343 m/s
t = 0.15 s
</span><span>How long would it take light to travel this distance?
t = 50.23 / </span><span>299 792 458 m / s
t = 1.68x10^-7 s</span>
Answer:
5.25%
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Accepted value = 238857 miles
Measured value = 226316 miles
Percentage error =.?
Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:
Accepted value = 238857 miles
Measured value = 226316 miles
Absolute Error =?
Absolute Error = |Measured – Accepted|
Absolute Error = |226316 – 238857|
Absolute Error = 12541
Finally, we shall determine the percentage error. This can be obtained as follow:
Accepted value = 238857 miles
Absolute Error = 12541
Percentage error =.?
Percentage error = absolute error / accepted value × 100
Percentage error
= 12541 / 238857 × 100
= 1254100 / 238857
= 5.25%
Therefore, the percentage error is 5.25%.
