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%

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

2.03 Ω

Explanation:

EMF: This can be defined as the potential difference of a cell when it is not delivering any current. The S.I unit of Emf is Volt.

The formula of emf is given as,

E = I(R+r)............................ Equation 1

Where E = Emf, I = current, R = External resistance, r = internal resistance.

Make r the subject of the equation

r = (E-IR)/I........................ Equation 2

Note: From ohm's law, V = IR.

r = (E-V)/I........................ Equation 3

Where V = Terminal voltage

Given: E = 24 V, I = 3.9 A, V = 16.1 V.

Substitute into equation 3

r = (24-16.1)/3.9

r = 7.9/3.9

r = 2.03 Ω

a nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm. how many photons are in the pulse?
Wewaii [24]

A nitrogen laser generates a pulse containing 10.0 mj of energy at a wavelength of 340.0 nm and has 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons in the pulse.

<h3>How many photons are in the pulse?</h3>

Energy of a single photon is

E=hcλ

E=6.626×10⁻³⁴ J s×3×108 m/s /340×10⁻⁹ m

E=6.31×10⁻¹⁹  J

Number of photons in the laser is

n=Total Energy/Energy per photon

n=10⁷×10⁻³J /5.90×10⁻¹⁹J/photon

n= 1785 x 10¹⁹ photons
