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 ?

Answer: 0.0138 m^2  = 138 cm^2

Explanation:

The thermal expansion is the term use for the physical phenomena of dilation of the objects when they are exposed to changes in temperature.

The objects dilate when they are heated and contract when they are cooled.

The dilation is proportional to the change in temperatur.

For linear dilation, the proportionality constant is called linear dilation coefficient of the materials, it is named α and is measured in °C ^-1.

ΔL = α * Lo * ΔT, which means that the dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original length (Lo) and the change of temperature (ΔT).

There is also superficial dilation, for which the dilation is:

ΔA = β * Ao * ΔT, which means that the superficial dilation (or contraction) is proportional to the product of the original area (Ao) and the change of temperature (ΔT).

It is very interesting and important to solve problems that β = 2α, because regularly you will find the values of α for different materials and so, you just to multiply it times 2 to use β.

For this problem:

- Original area, Ao = area of the flat roof at - 10°C = 2.0m * 3.0m = 6.0 m^2.
- α for aluminum = 24 * 10^ -6 °C^-1.
- ΔT = 38°C - (-10°C) = 48°C

So, ΔA = 6.0m^2 * (2 * 24*10^-6 °C&-1) * 48°C = 0.0138 m^2

And that is the area that should stick out in summer to fit the structure during cold winter nights.

You can pass that number to cm^2 to grasp better the idea of this size:

0.0138 m^2 * (100 cm)^2 / m^2 = 138 cm^2

Analysis: (use a separate sheet of paper)
Zolol [24]

Speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

<h3>What happens to the wavelength if the frequency increases?</h3>

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. As the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.

The wave speed is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength, which shows the relationship between frequency and wavelength.

So we can conclude that speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

allsm [11]

Answer:

41.2°

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is the reflection of the incident ray at the interface between two media in which one of the media has a lower refractive index than the other. It occurs when the angle of incidence in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle.

The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of incidence in the less dense medium is 90°.

Since

n= 1/sin C

C= sin^-(1/n)

C= sin^-(1/1.33)

C= 48.8°

Hence angle of incidence= 90-48.8 = 41.2°

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9
