Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass. So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has <u><em>more</em></u> inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.
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:
Options B, A, D, C
Explanation:
When a scientists, let's say Roberto wonders if the presence of other elements also affects the color of a flame, he can decide to prove this through a study. Therefore, in chemistry class, Roberto sees that traces of lithium makes a flame appear bright red. Subsequently, Roberto designs an experiment to test flame color in the presence of different elements and finally Roberto's friend tells him the color of a flame cannot be changed, but Roberto is still unsure.
Answer:
v = 2.18m/s
Explanation:
In order to calculate the speed of Betty and her dog you take into account the law of momentum conservation. The total momentum before Betty catches her dog must be equal to the total momentum after.
Then you have:
(1)
M: mass Betty = 40kg
m: mass of the dog = 15kg
v1o: initial speed of Betty = 3.0m/s
v2o: initial speed of the dog = 0 m/s
v: speed of both Betty and her dog = ?
You solve the equation (1) for v:
The speed fo both Betty and her dog is 2.18m/s
