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%

Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o
spayn [35]

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.

Blood plasma volume for adults is about 3.1 liters. It has a density of 1.020 gml. How many pounds of blood plasma are in your b
kari74 [83]

Answer:

mass is 6.97 pounds

Explanation:

given data

volume = 3.1 liters

density = 1.020 g/ml = 1.02 kg/l

to find out

How many pounds of blood plasma

solution

we know mass formula from density that is

density = mass / volume

so

mass = density × volume    ...............1

so put all value to get mass

mass = 1.02 × 3.1

mass = 3.162 kg

mass = 3.162  × 2.205 pounds

so mass is 6.97 pounds

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.146 kg baseball crashing through the pane
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Impulse, |J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s

Force, F = 63.35 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.146 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 15.3 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = 10.7 m/s

To find,

(a) The magnitude of this impulse.

(b) The magnitude of the average force of the glass on the ball.

Solution,

(a) Impulse of an object is equal to the change in its momentum. It is given by :

J=m(v-u)

J=0.146\ kg(10.7-15.3)\ m/s

J = -0.6716 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 0.6716 kg-m/s

(b) Another definition of impulse is given by the product of force and time of contact.

t = 0.0106 s

J=F\times \Delta t

F=\dfrac{J}{\Delta t}

F=\dfrac{0.6716\ kg-m/s}{0.0106\ s}

F = 63.35 N

Hence, this is the required solution.
