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 student drops a ball from the top of a 10-meter tall building. The ball leaves the thrower's hand with a zero speed. What is t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10

v^2 = 196

v = 14 m/s

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min

Obi Wan hears the destruction of a planet and all of its people through 'the force'. These sounds are only in his head and are n
trapecia [35]

Answer:

medium

Explanation:

<em>A sound </em><em>medium</em><em> is defined as channel through which sound can travel or be transmitted. </em>

Sound medium could be in the form gases, liquids, solids or plasmas. Space is made up of vacuum and therefore, has no medium within it. Hence, space cannot transmit sound in any form or allows sound to travel through it.
