6 0

Answer: Meteor showers occur when the earth in its orbit around the Sun passes through debris left over from the destruction of comets.

Explanation:A meteor is a particle broken off an asteroid or comet orbiting the Sun, it burns up as it enters the Earth's atmosphere, creating the effect called shooting star. Cosmic debris of meteor is known as meteoroids. These meteoroids, entering Earth's atmosphere, at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories is an event known as meteor shower.

A student calculates the density of a copper cube to be 4.15 g/cm . If the accepted value is 8.64 g/cm the percentage error in h
Helen [10]

 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%.

An oil gusher shoots crude oil 25.0 m into the air through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting air resistance but not the
Mariana [72]

Answer:3764.282 KPa

Explanation:

Given gusher shoots oil at h=25 m

i.e. the velocity of jet is

v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

v=22.147 m/s

Now the pressure loss in pipe is given by hagen poiseuille equation

\Delta P=\frac{32L\mu v}{D^2}

\Delta P=\frac{32\times 50\times 22.147\times 1}{10^{-2}}

\Delta P=3543.557 KPa

For  25 m head in terms of Pressure

\Delta P_2=\rho \times g\times h=220.725 KPa

Total Pressure=\Delta P+\Delta P_2=3543.557+220.725=3764.282 KPa
