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%

Answer the following question about "The Deadliest Tsunami in History."
Anna007 [38]

The correct answer is - a. was a sign of danger.

Once the people saw that the ocean waters are receding and were living vast space without water behind them, they knew that something big and very dangerous will happen. And in fact it did. The water that was sucked in in the place were there was a crack on the ocean floor, got shot back under big pressure and it had very big speed, as well as having waves that were destroying anything on their way.

The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. How far does light travel in one day? Remember that you should first convert the day into s
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

2.59\times 10^{13}\ m

Explanation:

The speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by it in one day.

1 day = 24 hours

1 day = 24 × 3600 seconds

= 86400 s

Now, using the formula of speed to find the distance covered as follows :

d=v\times t

Putting all the values, we get :

d=3\times 10^8\ m/s\times 86400\ s\\\\d=2.59\times 10^{13}\ m

Hence, light will cover 2.59\times 10^{13}\ m of distance in one day.

A rigid tank contains air at a pressure of 70 psia and a temperature of 55 ˚F. By how much will the pressure increase as the tem
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

P_2 = 62.69 psi

Explanation:

given,

P₁ = 70 psia               T₁ = 55° F    = (55 + 459.67) R

P₂ = ?                         T₂ = 115° F    = (115 + 459.67) R

we know,

p = ρ RT

ρ is the density which is constant

R is also constant

now,

\dfrac{P_2}{P_1} =\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}

\dfrac{P_2}{70} =\dfrac{55+459.67}{115+459.67}

    P_2 = 62.69 psi

Hence, the increase in Pressure is equal to P_2 = 62.69 psi
