Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of

the students' measurement to the nearest whole percent?

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 ?

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

The old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. 

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2

Study this image. Which statement correctly explains what is happening in the image?
klemol [59]

Answer:

A rift valley is forming.

Explanation:

A rift valley is a linear shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault.

A rift valley is formed on a divergent plate boundary, a crustal extension or spreading apart of the surface.

The arrows show the movement of the tectonic plates.

Hope this helps.
