Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00158\times 100

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00316\times 100

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00791\times 100

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is one of the end-product of combustion reactions involving many fuels today.

With the rapid increase in urbanization and technological development, man demand for energy increased tremendously. The discovery of fossil fuels paved the way for the astronomical increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil invovles the process where the carbon atoms present in these fuels combine with oxygen in the air to make CO2. This has resulted in an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

The burning fossil fuels for electricity, industry, heat, and transportation are the major sources of the emossion of carbon dioxide.

Also, the cutting down of trees for paper production, building construction and for the establishment of settlements also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, when these trees are cut down, carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere.

When the Earth rotates, what happens to the constellations?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Constellations Changing Positions!!!!       :D  <----(smiley face)

Explanation:

Due to the earth's rotation, stars appear to move. As the Earth rotates from west to east, the stars appear to rise in the East, moving across south to set in the west. The Sun will appear to move through the stars, making one complete circuit of the sky in 365 days!!

Convert 0.00200 g into Mg and answer in scientific notation:
Masja [62]

Answer: 2.00x10^{2}

Explanation: 1 gram is equal to 1000 Milligrams so

0.00200g=\frac{1000mg}{1g}

Since you go straight across its just multiplication so 0.00200x1000=200mg

To answer it in scientific notation it should just be 2.00x10^{2} mg
