$Amount :of :deviation:(A_{D}) = difference: from :accepted: value$

$percent: deviation:(P_{D})$ = $dfrac {amount:of:deviation}{accepted:value} times 100%$

for the first student:

$:::::::: A_{D} = 140 -146= -6 :g$

$::::::::P_{D}=dfrac{-6}{146}times 100%$=$-4%$

for the second student:

$:::::::: A_{D} = 150 -146= 4:g$

$::::::::P_{D}=dfrac{4}{146}times 100%$=$2.7%$

for the third student:

$:::::::: A_{D} = 160 -146= 14:g$

$::::::::P_{D}=dfrac{14}{146}times 100%$=$9.5%$

because it does not depend on the volume of objects but depends on the density of the object. Objects with tightly packed molecules are denser and sink like a sandstone and Objects with more loosely packed molecules are less dense and float like the plastic ball.

$$
density=dfrac{mass}{volume}=dfrac{400}{500}=0.8: g/mL
$$

the density will stay the same, because when the half amount of liquid B is removed the mass will decrease to the half too. so there will be no change in the density.

$Amount :of :deviation:(A_{D}) = difference: from :accepted: value$

$percent: deviation:(P_{D})$ = $dfrac {amount:of:deviation}{accepted:value} times 100%$

$::A_{D} = 612 – 600= 12:g$

$::::::::P_{D}=dfrac{12}{600}times 100%$=$2%$

A liquid A is frozen that means it is subjected to high pressure then the density of the solid block will increase due to the high pressure. when the frozen block is placed in the container it will sink to the bottom due to the increasing in the density of this block.

The following are the volume and mass of three different samples of pyrite:
$$begin{array}{c c c} hline
text{Sample} & text{Volume (cm$^3$)} & text{Mass (g)} \ hline
text{A} & 2.5 & 12.5 \
text{B} & 6.0 & 30.0 \
text{C} & 20.0 & 100.0 \
hline
end{array} $$

Step 2

Exercise 31
Step 1
1 of 3
Using the generated graph shown below, we can identify the mass of a 10.0 cm$^3$ sample of pyrite:![‘slader’](https://slader-solution-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/da49791d-ab30-483e-8781-99817222c9f9-1624603284585994.png)
Step 2
2 of 3
We will trace the volume of 10.0 cm$^3$ in the graph. Then we will project this to the y-axis to identify the mass of the sample. The mass of the sample is 50

the physical property is the density. the density of crude oil is lower than of water. so, the oil will float on the water and do not mix with it. then it is easy to separate them.

$Amount :of :deviation:(A_{D}) = difference: from :accepted: value$

$percent: deviation:(P_{D})$ = $dfrac {amount:of:deviation}{accepted:value} times 100%$

$::A_{D} = 35000 – 50000= -15000:gallons$

$::::::::P_{D}=dfrac{-15000}{50000}times 100%$ = $-30%$

1- will fix the 10- foot rope alongside the stream(will stay during the all measurements fixed).

2- each student will put the apple on the stream at the start of rope (0-foot).

3- each student will determine the time that his apple took to reach the end of the rope (10-foot distance).

4-there will be a different records of the time$(T_{A})$ for the same distance.

5- each student will calculate his apple velocity$V_{A}$.

$V_{A}=dfrac{distance:(10 :foot)}{time ;(T_{A})}$

6- there will be different values of $V_{A}$

7-to calculate the average velocity$V_{G}$

$V_{G}$= $dfrac{V_{A1}+V_{A2}+V_{A3}+….}{number :of: times: measuring :the: speed }$

as example: if there were three students wanted to measure the speed the law will be:

$V_{G}$= $dfrac{V_{A1}+V_{A2}+V_{A3}}{3 }$
