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: A medium in which speed of light is more is known as optically rarer medium and a medium in which speed of light is less is said to be optically denser medium. For example in air and water, air is raer and water is a denser medium.
Explanation:
Answer:
The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
Explanation:
Given;
specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850
Specific gravity is given as;
Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;
Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
