Upon comparison, it is evident that the student with the highest percent error is A. Student 4, who measured 9.61 m/s². Four students recorded the acceleration of gravity, with the accepted local value being 9.78 m/s². Now let's find out which student's measurement exhibited the greatest percent error.
Steam transforms into gas as it escapes into the atmosphere. Even if you manage to capture the steam as it ascends, it can revert to H2O when it cools down. Due to the evaporation process, the final volume of water will differ from the original amount.
The calculation for the horizontal component is performed as follows:
Vhorizontal = V · cos(angle)
For your instance, Vhorizontal = 16 · cos(40) equates to 12.3 m/s
Conclusion: 12.3 m/s
