Answer:

Zeros to the left of a decimal can be insignificant place holders, such as in 0.043 (two significant figures).

They can be significant if they are between two digits who themselves are significant, such as in 101.000 (three significant figures).

In the case of a number like 1,000 we can see there is only one significant figure. The zero digits are not between sigfigs.

The unit of energy is a derived unit

Tems11 [23]

Explanation:

Hi, there!!

Energy is defined as the capacity or ability to do work. It's SI unit is Joule.

here,

Joule = (kg×m×m)/(s×s)

 = kg×m^2/s^2.

Therefore, the derived unit is kg.m^2 by s^2.

Hope it helps...

When a pendulum is at the position all the way to the left when it is swinging (at the top of the arc), what is true of the kine

JulsSmile [24]

Choice - B is the correct one.

At the top of the arc, at one end of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any higher, so the potential energy is maximum
-- it stops moving for an instant, so the kinetic energy is zero

At the bottom of the arc, in the center of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any lower, so the potential energy is minimum
-- it's not going to move any faster, so the kinetic energy is maximum
