Answer:

density of water is much greater than density of air

Explanation:

when body is in fluid it carries weight which is always equal to upthrust

upthrust is given as

upthrust= density of fluid ×strength of gravitational field g × volume of body in fluid

as volume of ship and aeroplane is same and strength of gravitational field or acceleration due to gravity is same hence upthrust depens upon density of fluid .

density of air is about 1.2 kg/m^3 and density of water is 1000kg/m^3 hence ship carries more load

Ann puts a beaker on the scale which shows the mass to be 1.65kg. The actual mass was 1.72 kg. what was the percent error in Ann

mojhsa [17]

Measured reading is 1.65 kg

actual reading was 1.72 kg

error in the reading is 1.72 - 1.65 = 0.07 kg

Now percentage error is given as

$error = \frac{error}{true reading}*100$

$error = \frac{0.07}{1.72}*100$

$error = 4.1$

<em>so this is -4.1% error as the measured reading is less than the actual value</em>

Complete Question

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and thus our bodies) as three isotopes: Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Their current abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%. A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass. 1. How much Potassium-40 is present in a person with a mass of 80 kg? 2. If, on average, the decay of Potassium-40 results in 1.10 MeV of energy absorbed, determine the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body. Assume an RBE of 1.2. The half-life of Potassium-40 is $1.28 * 10^9$ years.
