Add or subtract as indicated.

1 answer:

4 0

In order to add or subtract numbers expressed in scientific notation, it is important that the powers of 10 in the numbers should have the same index or else you cannot readily add or ubtract these numbers. We do as follows:<span>
a. 5.80 x 10^9 s +3.20 x 10^8 s
We need to adjust one of the numbers since they do not have the same indices. We move one place to the left of the second number making it .320 x 10^9 s. Then, we can add the numbers now:

</span>5.80 x 10^9 s +.320 x 10^9 s = 6.12 x 10^9 s<span>

b. 4.87 x 10^-6 m - 1.93 x 10^-6 m

We can subtract the numbers directly since they have the same indices.

</span>4.87 x 10^-6 m - 1.93 x 10^-6 m = 2.94 x 10^-6 m

A child sits 1.6 m from the center of a merry go round that makes one complete revolution in 4.7 s. What is his angular accelera

olga2289 [7]

Answer: angular acceleration = $2.86\ rad/sec^{2}$

Given:

Distance from center of axis = 1.6 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = 4.7 sec

Therefore, we can evaluate the angular acceleration using the following formula:

$\alpha = r\times \omega^{2}$

$\alpha = r\times (\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}$

$\alpha = 1.6\times (\frac{2\times3.14}{4.7})^{2}$

$\alpha$ = $2.86\ rad/sec^{2}$

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

d= 1.5 g/cm3

Explanation:

datos

m= 30g

v= 20cm3

d=?

formula

d= m / v

solución

d= 30g / 20cm3 = 1.5g/cm3

Energy that cannot be used to do useful work is referred to as Select one: a. potential energy. b. entropy. c. kinetic energy. d

topjm [15]

In thermodynamics, entropy (symbolized as S) is a physical magnitude for a thermodynamic system in equilibrium. It measures the number of microstates compatible with the equilibrium macrostate, it can also be said that it is the reason for an increase between internal energy versus an increase in system temperature.

The universe tends to distribute energy evenly; that is, to maximize entropy. Intuitively, entropy is a physical quantity that, by calculation, allows us to determine the part of energy per unit of temperature that cannot be used to produce work.

Therefore the correct answer is B.
