Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: B. A gravitational field

Explanation:

Surrounding earth is gravitational field. Gravitational field is a region of space were gravitational force can be felt and gravitational force is the gravitational pull on the surface of the earth. The presence of this gravity is what allow us to be able to walk freely without falling. It also make us jump up and be able to land back on the ground. Assuming there are no force of gravity in the surface of the earth, there won't be any possibility of landing back on the ground after jumping.
