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%

It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is
Anna35 [415]
(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.

(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
f= \frac{1}{T}
since in our problem the period is T=5.0 s, the frequency is
f= \frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.2 Hz

(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda:
v=f \lambda = (0.2 Hz)(2.5 m)=0.5 m/s

Answer:

5235.84 kg

Explanation:

There is one theorem - whose proof I will never remember without having to drag calculus in there - that says that the variation of momentum is equal to the force applied times the time the application last.

F\Delta t = m \Delta v As long as the engine isn't ejecting mass - at this point it's a whole new can of worm - we know the force, we know the variation in speed, time to find the mass. But first, let's convert the variation of speed in meters per second. The ship gains 250 kmh, \Delta v = 69.4 m/s;

45 450 \cdot 8 = 69.4 m \rightarrow m = \frac{45450\cdot 8}{69.4} = 5235.84 kg
