How to calculate percent error

Physics
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Steps to Calculate the Percent Error

Subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

Take the absolute value of step 1.

Divide that answer by the accepted value.

Multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 10N

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sketch of the two cases has been attached to this response.

<em>Case 1: The box is pushed by a horizontal force F making it to move with constant velocity.</em>

In this case, a frictional force F_{r} is opposing the movement of the box. As shown in the diagram, it can be deduced from Newton's law of motion that;

∑F = ma    -------------------(i)

Where;

∑F = effective force acting on the object (box)

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration of the object

∑F = F -  F_{r}

m = 50kg

a = 0   [At constant velocity, acceleration is zero]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

F -  F_{r} = m x a

F -  F_{r} = 50 x 0

F -  F_{r} = 0

F =  F_{r}            -------------------(ii)

<em>Case 2: The box is pushed by a horizontal force 1.5F making it to move with a constant velocity of 0.1m/s²</em>

In this case, the same frictional force F_{r} is opposing the movement of the box.

∑F = 1.5F -  F_{r}

m = 50kg

a =  0.1m/s²

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

1.5F -  F_{r} = m x a

1.5F -  F_{r} = 50 x 0.1

1.5F -  F_{r} = 5            ---------------------(iii)

<em>Substitute </em>F_{r}<em> = F from equation (ii) into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

1.5F - F = 5            

0.5F = 5            

F = 5 / 0.5

F = 10N

Therefore, the value of F is 10N

What does an unconformity in a sequence of rock layers reveal about geologic history?
andreev551 [17]
An unconformity, or abnormality in the layers of rocks, signifies that the process of layering was somehow interrupted. The only feasible choice for this would be (B), where erosion would have interrupted the layering process.

In the following figure, electric field at y axis will be maximum at y=?
Strike441 [17]

Because of symmetry electric field component in the x axis cancels out. Now just use electric field formula and slap that sine of theta cause you want the vertical component of electric field and multiply that by two since there’s two charges. I’ve shown my work. Hope it helps✌

Un móvil se encuentra en la posición inicial x0 = 22 m, y se mueve con velocidad 5 m/s. Calcula la posición en la que se encuent
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

La posición en la que se encuentra el móvil en el instante t = 30 s es 172 m.

Explanation:

El movimiento rectilíneo uniforme (MRU) es el movimiento que describe un cuerpo o partícula a través de una línea recta a velocidad constante.

La distancia recorrida,  x , por un móvil que tiene un MRU con un velocidad  v  durante el intervalo de tiempo  t  es:

x= x0 + v*t

donde x0 es la posición inicial.

En este caso:

  • x0= 22 m
  • v= 5 m/s
  • t= 30 s

Reemplazando:

x= 22 m + 5 m/s* 30 s

Resolviendo:

x= 22 m + 150 m

x= 172 m

<u><em>La posición en la que se encuentra el móvil en el instante t = 30 s es 172 m.</em></u>

Which force is needed to give a 0.25-kg arrow an acceleration of 196 m/s2?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Force = mass × accelaration


Force = 0.25Kg × 196 m/s²


Force = 49 Newtons
