 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%.

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m
harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two people travel from Columbus to Cleveland, one by car at an average velocity of 90km/h, and one by plane at an average veloci
Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes , their displacement may be equal .

Suppose the displacement is AB where A is starting point and B is end point .

The car is covering the distance AB by going from A to B on straight line . On the other hand plane goes from A to C , then from C to D and then from D to B . In this way plane reaches B from A on a different path which is longer than path of the car . In the second case also displacement of plane is AB . In the second case distance covered is longer but displacement is same that is AB .

A net force of 3000 N is accelerating a 1200 kg elevator upward. If the elevator starts from rest, how long will it take to trav
alexdok [17]

F = net force acting on the elevator in upward direction = 3000 N

m = mass of the elevator = 1200 kg

a = acceleration of the elevator = ?

Acceleration of the elevator is given as

a = F/m

a = 3000/1200

a = 2.5 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity of the elevator = 0 m/s

Y = displacement of the elevator = 15 m

t = time taken

Using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

15 = (0) t + (0.5) (2.5) t²

t = 3.5 sec
