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%

Crickets Chirpy and Milada jump from the top of a vertical cliff. Chirpy drops downward and reaches the ground in 2.70 s, while
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Time taken to reach ground is t=2.7\ s

Malda initial velocity u=95\ cm/s

Let h be the height of Cliff

using h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, u=initial velocity

t=time

In first case chirpy drop downward thus u=0

h=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.7)^2

h=35.72\ m

For Milada there is horizontal velocity u=95 cm/s=0.95 m/s[/tex]

time taken to reach the ground will be same so distance traveled in this time with 0.95 m/s horizontal velocity is given by

R=u\times t

R=0.95\times 2.7=2.43\ m

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence about the layers of the atmosphere. If the did not exist, Earth might be destr
ozzi

Answer:

If the mesosphere did not exist, Earth might be destroyed by chunks of rock from space.

The stratosphere is located 12 to 50 kilometers from Earth's surface.

Both the trophosphere and mesosphere get colder as altitude increases.

The ozone in the stratosphere protects people from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The thermosphere has the highest temperature of any layer in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Different layers of the atmosphere are;

  • Troposphere

It is the lowest layer of atmosphere that begins at ground level and extends upward to about 10 km. In this layer, all organisms live, weather occurs and most clouds appear. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases i.e., the layer gets colder.

  • Stratosphere

This layer is located at the top of the troposphere  and extends up to about 50 km from Earth's surface. The ozone layer present in this layer absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun. Here, the temperature rises with altitude. The passenger jets are usually fly in this layer.

  • Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere, the mesosphere extends upward to about 85 km from Earth's surface. The chunks of rock from space such as meteors burn upon entering the mesosphere and protect the Earth. In this layer, the temperature gets colder as altitude increases and so the coldest temperatures (about -90° C) in Earth's atmosphere are found at the top of this layer.  

  • Thermosphere

This layer is located above the mesosphere and the air here is really very thin. The thermosphere absorbs high-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun and as a result, its temperature increases to hundreds or thousands of degrees i.e., 1,500° C or higher. This layer extends up to 500 to 1,000 km from the ground. Many satellites orbit Earth within this layer.

  • Ionosphere

The ionosphere is actually an extension of the thermosphere and so it is not a distinct layer like the others. It is filled with charged particles produced from the ionization of molecules by high temperatures in the thermosphere caused by the high-energy radiation from the Sun. The phenomenon called auroras (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) occurs in this layer. The different regions of the ionosphere reflecting the radio waves back to Earth and make the long-distance radio communication possible.

An astronaut is standing on the surface of a planetary satellite that has a radius of 1.74 × 10^6 m and a mass of 7.35 × 10^22 k
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

2.87 km/s

Explanation:

radius of planet, R = 1.74 x 10^6 m

Mass of planet, M = 7.35 x 10^22 kg

height, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m

G = 6.67 x 106-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Use teh formula for acceleration due to gravity

g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}

g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{1.74^{2}\times 10^{12}}

g = 1.62 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = ?, h = 2.55 x 10^6 m , final velocity, v = 0

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh

0 = v² - 2 x 1.62 x 2.55 x 10^6

v² = 8262000

v = 2874.37 m/s

v = 2.87 km/s

Thus, the initial speed should be 2.87 km/s.
