Answer:

3.85 percent

Explanation:

From the question,

Percentage error = (error/actual)×100................ Equation 1

Given: actual center of mass = 15 cm, error = 15.6-15 = 0.6 cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

Percentage error = (0.6/15.6)×100

Percentage error = 3.85 percent

Hence the percentage error of the uniform mass = 3.85 percent

Why does the number of dwarf planets recognized by astronomers in the solar system sometimes increase?
gregori [183]
Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before.  When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration
lidiya [134]

Answer:

1.4m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

 Average velocity  = \frac{total distance }{time }  

 Total time taken  = 5s + 6s  = 11s

The first distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 5 = 7m

     second distance covered  = velocity x time  = 1.4 x 6  = 8.4m

So;

  Average velocity  = \frac{7 + 8.4}{11}    = 1.4m/s

Gre4nikov [31]
The correct answer is option A. i.e. An important thing to consider when responding to a driver in front of you that stops suddenly is: the mental state of the other driver.

Our talk or discussion can disrturb the balance of the driver or he can get distracted. So, we must try not to speak much while the driver is driving because by doing this we are putting the life of ourselves in danger. Any distrcaction of driver can cause accident.

Where would the net force acting on a charge placed in a system of like charges be zero?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

If an object is electrically neutral it has no net charge becuase it has the same number of protons as it does electrons, which are opposite charges that offset each other. No, that just means that the sum of all its positive and negative amounts of charge equals zero.
