Zeros are always considered significant digits when they are to the left of the decimal point

Physics
1 answer:
maksim [4K]3 years ago
7 0

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.

An object traveling at a constant speed but with a changing direction is accelerating.
prohojiy [21]

Strange as it may seem, that's true. (choice 'a'.)

"Acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up".  It means ANY change in
the speed or direction of motion.  So a car with the brakes applied
and slowing down, and a point on the rim of a bicycle wheel that's
turning at a constant rate, are both accelerating.

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 155 ft and 175 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

163.8 ft

Explanation:

In triangle ABD

AB = 155 ft

Cos63 = \frac{BD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{155}\\BD = 155 Cos63 \\BD = 70.4 ft

Sin63 = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AD}{155} \\AD = 166 Sin63\\AD = 148 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle ADC

AC^{2} = AD^{2} + DC^{2} \\175^{2} = 148^{2} + DC^{2} \\DC = 93.4 ft

d = distance between the anchor points

distance between the anchor points is given as

d = BD + CD = 70.4 + 93.4\\d = 163.8 ft
