Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%

Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5

loris [4]

Answer:

Distance between Venus and Sun is 1.0864x10^11 m

Explanation:

Data

T1 (Total time taken by earth to rotate around sun)=365 days

T2 (Total time taken by venus to rotate around sun)=225 days

R1 (Radius b/w Sun and earth)=1.5x10^11m

R2(Distance between Venus and Sun)=?

Solution

Apply Kepler Law

(R2)^3/(R1)^3=(T1)^2/(T2)^2

(R2)^3/(1.5x10^11)^3=(225^2)/(365^2)

R2=1.0864x10^11m

A spring with a constant k=400n/m shoots a 1. 00kg ball up a frictionless incline after being compressed 0. 150m. what is the ma
Zielflug [23.3K]

The maximum height reached by the ball is 0.46m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the potential energy of a spring mass system.

<h3>How to find the maximum height reached by the ball?</h3>
  • It is given that,

                       k=400N/m\\m=1kg\\x=0.150m\\h=?\\

  • We have to find the maximum height reached by the ball.
  • Thus, we have the expression for potential energy of a spring mass system and that of gravitational field as,

                             U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 \\U=mgh

  • Combining both, we get,

                    h=\frac{kx^2}{2mg} =\frac{400*(0.15)^2}{2*1*9.8} =0.46m

Thus, we can conclude that, the maximum height reached by the ball is 0.46m.
