An experiment that produces waves on a string is analyzed, and the experimental value for the wave speed is found to be 66 m/s.

If the accepted value for the wave speed is 63 m/s, what is the percent error? 0.045% 0.048% 4.5% 4.8%

Answer:

4.8%

Explanation:

percentage error can be calculated as the difference between the theoretical and experimental value divided by the experimental value expressed in percentage.

The percentage error can be  computed mathematically as

(accepted value - experimental value)/accepted value × 100

accepted value = 63 m/s

experimental value = 66 m/s

difference = 63 - 66 = -3 m/s

use the absolute value = 3 m/s

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

percentage error = 3/63 × 100

percentage error = 300/63

percentage error = 4.76%

percentage error = 4.8%

How long does it take for a person that is walking at 2 meters per second to travel 1200 meters
Zanzabum

The time taken by a person that is walking at 2 meters per second to travel 1200 meters is 600 s

v = d / t

v = Velocity

d = Distance

t = Time

v = 2 m / s

d = 1200 m

t = d / v

t = 1200 / 2

t = 600 s

Velocity is the rate of change of distance with respect to time. It is denoted using V. Its unit is usually m / s.

Therefore, the time taken by thy person is 600 seconds

A tennis ball is hit into the air with a racket. When is the ball’s kinetic energy the greatest? Ignore air resistance.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer B is the correct answer

We know that kinetic energy  E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2, where m is the mass of object and v is the velocity of object.

In this case only velocity is the variable, mass remains constant.

So point having higher velocity has higher kinetic energy.

When it leaves the racket, the ball will be having a certain height, but just before it reaches the ground it will not having any height. So maximum velocity of ball is at that time when  it reaches just above the ground.

So  option B is the correct answer.
