Calculate the percent error of the distance to the moon.

Physics
1 answer:
Bess [88]1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Difference in the measurement by shuttle crew  Δ d = 238857 - 226316 miles

= 12541 miles

Actual measurement =  238857 miles

percentage error

= (12541 / 238857 ) x 100

= 5.25 %

Assoli18 [71]

Solution:

Make an Observation - An indoor plant in a dark room withers faster than the same plant in a room with ample sunlight.

Ask a question- Why do certain indoor plants die faster based on where they are placed in the house?

State a hypothesis- Sunlight is probably essential for plants to grow and live.

Run an experiment- Get two potted plants. Cover one with black paper. Place both plants outside in sunlight. See what happens to each plant after one week.

Analyze the results-The plant in the pot with black paper withered. The other plant was healthy.

Communicate the results to others - Plants need sunlight to make food so they can live.

The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. a hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of
Damm [24]

Answer:

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

Explanation:

We are given;

h2 = 30m

h1 = 20m

Density; ρ = 1000 kg/m³

First of all, we know that the sum of the pressures in the tank and the pump is equal to that of the Nozzle,

Thus, it can be expressed as;

P_(tank)+ P_(pump) = P_(nozzle)

Now, the pressure would be given by;

P = ρgh

So,

ρgh_1 + P_(pump) = ρgh_2

Thus,

P_(pump) = ρg(h_2 - h_1)

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

P_(pump) = 1000•9.8(30 - 20)

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

A car travels 10 m/s east. Another car travels 10 m/s north. The relative speed of the first car with respect to the second is:
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

d. less than 20m/s

Explanation:

To the 2nd car, the first car is travelling 10m/s east and 10m/s south. So the total velocity of the first car with respect to the 2nd car is

[tex]\sqrt{10^2 + 10^2} =10\sqrt{2}=14.14m/s

As 14.14m/s is less than 20m/s. d is the correct selection for this question.

A 100 cm3 block of lead weighs 11N is carefully submerged in water. One cm3 of water weighs 0.0098 N.
Pie

#1

Volume of lead = 100 cm^3

density of lead = 11.34 g/cm^3

mass of the lead piece = density * volume

m = 100 * 11.34 = 1134 g

m = 1.134 kg

so its weight in air will be given as

W = mg = 1.134* 9.8 = 11.11 N

now the buoyant force on the lead is given by

F_B = W - F_{net}

F_B = 11.11 - 11 = 0.11 N

now as we know that

F_B = \rho V g

0.11 = 1000* V * 9.8

so by solving it we got

V = 11.22 cm^3

(ii) this volume of water will weigh same as the buoyant force so it is 0.11 N

(iii) Buoyant force = 0.11 N

(iv)since the density of lead block is more than density of water so it will sink inside the water


#2

buoyant force on the lead block is balancing the weight of it

F_B = W

\rho V g = W

13* 10^3 * V * 9.8 = 11.11

V = 87.2 cm^3

(ii) So this volume of mercury will weigh same as buoyant force and since block is floating here inside mercury so it is same as its weight =  11.11 N

(iii) Buoyant force = 11.11 N

(iv) since the density of lead is less than the density of mercury so it will float inside mercury


#3

Yes, if object density is less than the density of liquid then it will float otherwise it will sink inside the liquid
