Answer:

The original or accepted value for the percent by mass of water in a hydrate = 36%

Percen by mass of water in the hydrate determined by the student

in the laboratory = 37.8%

So the difference between the actual and the percent by mass in water determined by student = (37.8 - 36.0)%

            = 1.8%

So the percentage of error made by the student = (1.8/36) * 100 percent

                                                                            = (18/360) * 100 percent

                                                                            = ( 1/20) * 100 percent

                                                                             = 5 percent

So the student makes an error of 5%. Option "1" is the correct option.

A stone is launched straight up by a slingshot. Its initial speed is 19.6 m/s, and the stone is 1.50 m above the ground when lau
arlik [135]

Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs

How does mass and material type effect thermal energy transfer
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The mass contributes with the time of thermal energy transfer with respect to the material type  but most importantly the material type will determine rate at which the material absorbs the transfer of heat or thermal energy by either three types, conduction, convection and radiation.

Why would a soccer ball keep going forever without physics? Pls help and explain why
Pani-rosa [81]
A soccer ball would keep moving forever without physics, because without force to act upon the soccer ball, it could, or will not be able to stop the acceleration. And force is a factor in physics.

If the plotted points on a speed-time graph do not form a straight line, what do you know about the object's acceleration?
slega [8]
Remember, that while sped is constant, acceleration is not. Acceleration is when velicity changes. So the graph which shows the slop <span>of a velocity vs time describes acceleration.
</span>If we have the straight line on the graph it means that the slope is always the same whereas the <span>non-linear graphs has a variable slope that changes depending on your point in the graph.
</span>To conclude - if your graph is not a straight line it has variable acc at many points.<span>
