A student is measuring the mass of a two metal cylinders. The following data is collected. The actual mass of each cylinder is given. Answer the following questions. Metal Cylinder A 12.4 grams Actual mass of metal cylinder A 12.7 g Metal Cylinder B 75.4 grams Actual mass of metal cylinder B 75.1 g a. What is the absolute error for the measurement of metal cylinders A and B

Absolute error in measurement of A = 0.3

Absolute error in measurement of B = 0.3

Explanation:

Absolute error is a measure of the amount of error in a measurement i.e. a measure of how far away a measurement is from a true value or an indication of the uncertainty in a measurement.

The Absolute Error is the difference between the actual and measured value. In formula, the absolute error, Δx is given as:

Δx = |xi – x|,

Where:  xi is the measurement, x is the true value,

| | indicates that only absolute values are taken

In the measurements by the student in the question:

Metal Cylinder A

measured value = 12.4 grams

actual mass of metal cylinder A = 12.7 g

Using the absolute error formula; Δx = |xi – x|

Absolute error in measurement of A = |12.4 - 12.7| = 0.3

Metal Cylinder B

measured value = 75.4 grams

actual mass of metal cylinder B = 75.1 g

Using the absolute error formula; Δx = |xi – x|

Absolute error in measurement of B = |75.4 - 75.1| = 0.3

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .

lol for the pointsss
