Answer:

significant figures are the meaningful digits which are known with certainity . the number of significant figures in a measurement is the number of figures plus one that is uncertain, Begginig with the first non-zero digit e. g 8.00 has three significant figures

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60.0-m building and lands 100.0 m from the base of thebuilding. Ignore air resis
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a)3.5s

b)28.57m/S

c)34.33m/S

d)44.66m/S

Explanation:

Hello!

we will solve this exercise numeral by numeral

a) to find the time the ball takes in the air we must consider that vertically the ball experiences a movement with constant acceleration whose value is gravity (9.81m / S ^ 2), that the initial vertical velocity is zero, we use the following equation for a body that moves with constant acceleration

Y= VoT+0.5gt^{2}

where

Vo = Initial speed =0

T = time

g=gravity=9.81m/s^2

y = height=60m

solving for time

Y=0.5gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{Y}{0.5g} } \\t=\frac{60}{0.5(9.81)} \\

T=3.5s

b)The horizontal speed remains constant since there is no horizontal acceleration. with the value of the distance traveled (100m) and the time that lasts in the air (3.5s) we estimate the horizontal speed

V=\frac{x}{t} =\frac{100}{3.5}=28.57m/s

c)

to find the final vertical velocity we use the equations for motion with constant velocity as follows

Vf=Vo+g.t    

Vf=0+(9.81 )(3.5)=34.335m/S          

d)Finally, to find the resulting velocity, we add the horizontal and vertical velocities vectorially, this is achieved by finding the square root of the sum of its squares

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} =\sqrt{34.33^2+28.57^2} =44.67m/S

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Neptune is approximately 41 times as far from the sun as Venus

Explanation:

Estimate = distance of Neptune from the sun ÷ distance of Venus from the sun = 4.5×10^9 ÷ 1.18×10^8 = 40.9 (approximately 41)
