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.

The drag force that resists the motion of a car traveling at 80 km h^- 1 is 300 N.
kobusy [5.1K]

The power require to keep the car traveling is 6,666 W.

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is 3,999.6 W.

<h3>What is Instantaneous power?</h3>

This the product of force and velocity of the given object.

The power require to keep the car traveling is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

P = 300\ N \ \times  \ \frac{80 \ kmh^{-1}}{3.6 \ km h^{-1}/m/s} \\\\&#10;P = 300 \ N \times 22.22 \ m/s\\\\&#10;P = 6,666 \ W

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is calculated as follows;

E = \frac{P_{out}}{P _{in}} \times 100\%\\\\&#10;60\% = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \times 100\%\\\\&#10;0.6 = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \\\\&#10;P_{out} = 3,999.6 \ W

Two cylindrical rods, one copper and the other iron, are identical in lengths and cross-sectional areas. They are joined, end to
Pie

Answer:

Vc = 2.41 v

Explanation:

voltage (v) = 16 v

find the voltage between the ends of the copper rods .

applying the voltage divider theorem

Vc = V x (\frac{Rc}{Rc + Ri})

where

  • Rc = resistance of copper = \frac{ρl}{a}  (l = length , a = area, ρ = resistivity of copper)
  • Ri = resistance of iron = \frac{ρ₀l}{a}  (l = length , a = area, ρ₀ = resistivity of copper)

Vc =  V x (\frac{\frac{ρl}{a}}{\frac{ρl}{a} + \frac{ρ₀l}{a}})

Vc = V x (\frac{ρ x (\frac{l}{a})}{(ρ + ρ₀) x (\frac{l}{a})})

Vc = V x (\frac{ρ}{ρ + ρ₀})

where

  • ρ = resistivity of copper = 1.72 x 10^{-8} ohm.meter
  • ρ₀ = resistivity of iron = 9.71 x 10^{-8} ohm.meter

Vc = 16 x (\frac{1.72 x 10^{-8}}{1.72 x 10^{-8} + 9.71 x 10^{-8}})

Vc = 2.41 v

Which best summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the net work done by the forces on a body or an object is equal to the change produced in the kinetic energy of the body or an object.

The concept that summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem is that ''When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.''

You and your friends find a rope that hangs down 19m from a high tree branch right at the edge of a river. You find that you can
tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of rope L=19\ m

velocity while running v=2\ m/s

when the person jumps off the bank and hang on the rope then we can treat the person as pendulum with Time period T which is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{19}{9.8}}

T=2\pi \times 1.392

T=8.74\ m/s

Greatest Possible distance will be covered when person reaches the other extreme end  of assumed pendulum (velocity=zero)

therefore he must hang on for 0.5 T time

time=0.5\times 8.74=4.37\ s
