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 ?
Answer:
A light beam incident on a diffraction grating consists of waves with two different wavelengths. The separation of the two first order lines is great if
the dispersion is great
Answer:
22.05 Kg
Explanation:
Apply the formula:
GPE = Gravity . Mass . ΔHigh
2778.3 = 10 . Mass . 12.6
2778.3 = 126 . Mass
Mass = 2778.3/126
Mass = 22.05
Same temperature and difference in air pressure
Answer:
The speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
tension of the wire, T = 650 N
mass per unit length, μ = 0.06 g /cm = 0.006 kg/m
(convert the unit of mass per length in g/cm to kg/m by dividing by 10 = 0.06 / 10 = 0.006 kg/m)
The speed of waves on this wire is given as;
Therefore, the speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s
