Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct.
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at
standard temperature, then the mass of 25.0 mL could
very well be 25.4 grams. We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:
The 'error' was (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram
As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was
+0.4 / 25.0 = +0.016 .
To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way ===> .
+ 0.016 = +1.6 % .
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.
Let's not call it an 'error'. Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value. OK ?
Answer:
didn't understand your question
A heat engine is a device that uses heat to produce useful work.
The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².
<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>
- Forces along x axis direction are as follows
- 4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
- 2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.
- Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.
<h3>What's the acceleration along x axis direction?</h3>
- As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
- Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
- Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²
Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².

Explanation:
Given that,
The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s
She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.
We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

a = acceleration

So, her acceleration is
and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.
