The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.
<h3>What is percentage error?</h3>
This is the ratio of the error to the actual measurement, expressed in percentage.
To calculate the percentage error of the student, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- Error(%) = (calculated value-accepted value)100/(accepted............. Equation 1
From the question,
Given:
- Calculated value = 4.15 g/cm
- accepted value = 8.64 g/cm
Substitute these values into equation 1
- Error(%) = (4.15-8.64)100/8.64
- Error(%) = -4.49(100)/8.64
- Error(%) = -449/8.64
- Error(%) = -51.97 %
Hence, The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

Answer:
solving for: velocity
equation: velocity = distance / time
substitution: velocity = 1425 km / 12.5 hrs
answer: 114 km/hr
Answer:
t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)
t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)
Solving for t
t = 14×4 = 56 seconds
Explanation:
Let Ai represent the initial amount and At represent the final amount of beryllium-11 remaining after time t
At = Ai/2^n ..... 1
Where n is the number of half-life that have passed.
n = t/half-life
Half life = 14
n = t/14
At = Ai/2^(t/14)
From equation 1.
2^n = Ai/At
Taking the natural logarithm of both sides;
nln(2) = ln(Ai/At)
n = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)
Since n = t/14
t/14 = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)
t = 14ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)
Ai = 800
At = 50
t = 14ln(800/50)/ln(2)
t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)
Solving for t
t = 14×4 = 56 seconds
Let half life = ti
t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)
