The formula for percent error is:

% error = $(x_(measured)-x_(true))/x_(true)*100%$

Our $x_(true)$ value is 5.5 m. All we do now is solve for % error by plugging in each result. The result must be two .

A. % error = $(5.2 m -5.5 m)/(5.5 m)*100%=-5.5%$

A. % error = $(5.5 m -5.5 m)/(5.5 m)*100%=0.0%$

A. % error = $(5.7 m -5.5 m)/(5.5 m)*100%=3.6%$

A. % error = $(5.1 m -5.5 m)/(5.5 m)*100%=-5.5%$

What is percent error/percent deviation?

Percent error and percent deviation are the same thing. They both measure the relative error when you compare the results you got (the experimental/measured results) and compare them to the...

What is the percent error if the accepted value is 80g and the measured is 82g?

The percent error is basically the fractional deviation from the accepted value. The percent error is the absolute difference between the measured/approximate and accepted/exact values, relative to the exact value:...

Astudent measures the depth of a swimming pool to be 2.04 meters at its deepest end. The accepted value is 2.00 m. What is the student's percent error?

The formula for percent error is Percent error$=abs((E-T)/T) * 100$ where E = experimental value and T= theoretical or accepted value Percent error $=abs((2.04-2.00)/2.00) * 100$ $=abs(.04/2.00) * 100...

An experiment produced 0.10 g $CO_2$, with a volume of 0.056 L at STP. If the accepted density of $CO_2$ at STP is 1.96 g/L, what is the approximate percent error?

You have to compare the of $"CO"_2$ produced experimentally at STP to the accepted density of $"CO"_2$ at STP. $"density"="mass"/"volume"$ You are given the mass and volume of the experimentally...

A vernier calipers has an error of $2%$ in length, $1%$ in breadth and $3%$ in thickness, What is the maximum percentage error in measuring volume with it?

We have $"Volume"="Length"xx"Breadth"xx"Thickness"$ As error in measurement using vernier calipers is $2%$ in length, $1%$ in breadth and $3%$ in thickness, percentage error in volume would be given by $1.02xx1.01xx1.03=1.061106$...

A handbook gives the density of calcium as $"1.62 g/cm"^3$. What is the percent error of a density calculation of $"1.37 g/cm"^3$ based on lab measurements?

Your tool of choice here will be the following equation $"% error" = (|"accepted value " - " measured value"|)/"accepted value" * 100%$ So what you're looking for...

A sample of steel with a density of 7.81 g/ml is added to a 100-mL graduated cylinder with 45.0mL of water. If the resulting water level is 55.5 mL, what is the mass of the sample of steel?

The water level rose from $"45 ml"$ to $"55.5 ml"$, so that is a volume increase of $"10.5 ml"$. Assuming that the density of the water is $"1.00 g/ml"$, then...

A piece of PVC pipe displaces 60 mL when placed in a container of water. If the pipe has a mass of 78 g, what is its density?

$"density"=("mass")/("volume")$ The $"60 mL"$ of displaced water is the volume of the PVC pipe. Since the PVC pipe is a solid, we can use the equality $"1 mL"$$=$$"1 cm"^3"$ to...

Lewis has a copper pipe with a length of 150 cm and a mass of 800 grams. He cuts a piece of the copper pipe with a length of 90 cm. How do you work out the mass of this piece of copper pipe?

I would consider the Linear of the pipe as: $delta="Linear Density"="mass"/"length"$ or: $delta=800/150=5.3g/(cm)$ When you cut it you are left with $90cm$ of pipe but with the same linear density...
