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 ?

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

23.67 km / hr

Explanation:

car travels 355 km (d)

duration = 15 hrs  (t)

average speed formula = v = d / t

v = 355 km / 15 hr

v = 23.67 km / hr

A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of 10 to the power -9. What potential difference is required for a charge of 5×
Maurinko [17]

The potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

<h3>What is the energy in a capacitor?</h3>

The energy stored in a capacitor is an electrostatic potential energy.

It is related to the charge(Q) and voltage (V) between the capacitor plates.

It is represented as 'U'.

<h3>How to determine the potential difference</h3>

Formula:

Potential difference, V is the ratio of the charge to the capacitance of a capacitor.

It is calculated using:

V = Q ÷ C

Where Q = charge 5 × 10∧-5C and C = capacitance 10∧-9

Substitute the values into the equation

Potential difference, V = 5 × 10∧-5 ÷  10∧-9 = 5 × 10∧4 volts

<h3>How to determine the energy stored</h3>

Formula:

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 (QV)

Where Q= charge and V = potential difference across the capacitor

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 ( 5 × 10∧-5 × 5 × 10∧4)

= 0.5 × 25 × 10∧-1

= 0.5 × 2.5

= 1. 25 Joules

Therefore, the potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

\Delta s, the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: \Delta s=y_2 -y_1

\Delta t, the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: \Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1

So, the velocity is

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

which corresponds to the slope of the curve.
