As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

<h3>What is significant figure?</h3>

The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.

Significant figures are the digits in a value that are known with some degree of confidence.

The effect of reporting more or fewer figures or digits than are significant;

As the number of significant figures increases, the more accurate or precise the measurement is.

As precision of a measurement increases, so does the number of significant figures.

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

$T = 1.108\,s$

Explanation:

The period of a physical pendulum is:

$T = \sqrt{\frac{I_{O}}{m\cdot g \cdot L} }$

$T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{3}\cdot m \cdot L^{2} }{m\cdot g\cdot L} }$

$T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{L }{3\cdot g} }$

The length of the leg is approximately the height of the person:

$L = 0.915\,m$

The period is:

$T = 2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.915\,m}{3\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} }$

$T = 1.108\,s$

If you are holding a book and you let go of it, why does it fall? Explain in terms of forces, potential energy, and kinetic ener

inessss [21]

Answer:

Let the mass of the book be "m", acceleration due to gravity be "g", velocity be "v" and height be "h".

Now if we are holding a book at a certain height (h), the potential energy will be maximum which is equal to mass× acceleration due to gravity× height (= mgh).

(Remember: kinetic energy =0)

Now we consider that the book is dropped, in this case a force will act downward towards the centre of the earth, Force= mass× acceleration due to gravity (F=mg). It is equal to the weight of the book.

While the book is falling, the potential energy stored in the book converts into kinetic energy and strikes the floor with the maximum kinetic energy= (1/2)×mass×velocity² (=1/2mv²).

(Remember: kinetic energy=0)

Due to this process the whole energy is conserved.

As the potential energy decreases kinetic energy increases.
