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 much work is done by 0.070 m3 of gas, when the volume remains constant with pressure of 63 x 105 Pa?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

W = 0 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done by gas at constant pressure is given by the following formula:

W = P\Delta V

where,

W = Work done by the gas

P = Pressure of the gas

ΔV = Change in the volume of the gas

Since the volume of the gas is constant. Therefore, there is no change in the volume of the gas:

W = P(0\ m^3)\\

<u>W = 0 J</u>

Both the lens and the cornea of the eye have a primary function of
3241004551 [841]

Answer: B. bending light

Explanation:

The phenomenom of vision in human eye is thanks to refraction (when light changes its direction as it passes through one medium to another), and this is what the cornea and the lens do.

When the ray of light encounters the eye, the first thing it finds is the <u>cornea</u>, which<u> bends this ray and begins to form an image</u>, then light passes through the <u>pupil</u>, which is in charge of regulating the amount of light that enters in the eye.  

After light travels through pupil it passes through the <u>lens</u>, where <u>the rays of light change the direction again in order to focus the formed image on the retina. </u>

At this point it is important to note the formed image is downward, then the retina transforms light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve and finally the brain interprets these messages, and forms a right upward image.

In the image attached these parts can be seen.

A rock thrown straight up takes 4.2 s to reach its maximum height what was its initial velocity
liubo4ka [24]

Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 \frac{m }{s^{2}}

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 \frac{m }{s}

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 \frac{m }{s}

If a car was cruising down the highway at 80 km/hr, how fast would the people inside the car be traveling?
wolverine [178]
Because the people in the car are attached to the vehicle, the people inside the vehicle are going the same speed as the vehicle.

Hope this helps! :)
