We could determine the acceleration using this formula
Given from the question v₀ = 23 m/s, v₁ = 0 (the car stops), t = 5 s
plug in the numbers
a = -4.6
The acceleration is -4.6 m/s²
The amount of birds nests depends on whether or not the trees have more or less leaves.
The independent should be the trees/leaves.
The dependent variable should be the birds nests.
Hope this helped ^-^
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct.
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at
standard temperature, then the mass of 25.0 mL could
very well be 25.4 grams. We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:
The 'error' was (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram
As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was
+0.4 / 25.0 = +0.016 .
To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way ===> .
+ 0.016 = +1.6 % .
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.
Let's not call it an 'error'. Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value. OK ?
