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.

This question is incomplete the complete question is

A diver bounces straight up from a diving board, avoiding the diving board on the way down, and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s and her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool. (a) What is her highest point above the board? (b) How long a time are her feet in the air? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

Answer:

(a) Xs=0.459m

(b) t=0.984 s

Explanation:

(a) To reach maximum distance

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}\\ Vf=0\\v_{b}^{2}=v_{a}^{2}+2gx_{s} \\ x_{s}=\frac{0-(3^{2} )}{-2*9.8}\\ x_{s}=0.459m$

(b) For Time

To find t we must find t1 and t2

t=t1+t2

For T1

$t_{1}=(Vb-Va)/g \\t_{1}=(0-3)/9.8\\t_{1}=0.306s$

For T2

$x_{l}=Vbt+(1/2)gt_{2}^{2}\\ as\\x_{l}=x_{1}+x_{s}\\x_{l}=1.8+0.459\\x_{l}=2.259\\so\\t_{2}=\frac{2.259*2}{9.8} \\t_{2}=0.6789s$

For Total Time

t=t1+t2

t=0.306+0.6789

t=0.984s

(c) To find Vc

Vc=Vb+gt2

Vc=(0)+(9.8)(0.6789)

Vc=6.65 m/s

The speed of sound in aluminum is 5200 m/s. Can you hear a sound with a

romanna [79]

Answer:

v = wavelength * frequency

frequency = 5200 m/s / .2 m = 26000 / sec

20,000 / sec is optimistic for the upper frequency of human hearing

So 26,000 is above the hearing range for human ears
