Answer;

-Significant

Explanation;

-Several numbers are considered significant in a measurements. Non-zero digits are always significant. Thus, 569 has three significant digits, and 69.35 has four significant digits.

-Zeros are sometimes significant and sometimes aren't:. Zeroes placed before other digits are not significant; 0.0968 has three significant digits.

-Zeros placed between other digits are always significant; 70063 kg has five significant digits. Zeros placed after other digits but behind a decimal point are significant; 7.90 has three significant digits. Zeros at the end of a number are significant only if they are behind a decimal point.

The forces on a car are balanced.state and explain the resultant force on the car

Vanyuwa [196]

there will no resultant force

Explanation:

this is because if the forces are balanced on opposite direction. then they cancel each other out

5 newton's ---------> <--------- 5 newton's

then both forces will cancel each other out as a result there is no resultant force and the newton's laws states that if there is no resultant the object will continue in its state of rest (remains there) or it will in continue in its uniform motion in a straight line.

I hope you understand,

A jet aircraft is traveling at 262 m/s in hor-

NeTakaya

Solution :

Speed of the air craft, $S_a$ = 262 m/s

Fuel burns at the rate of, $S_b$ = 3.92 kg/s

Rate at which the engine takes in air, $S_{air}$ = 85.9 kg/s

Speed of the exhaust gas that are ejected relative to the aircraft, $S_{exh}$ =921 m/s

Therefore, the upward thrust of the jet engine is given by

$F=S_{air}(S_{exh}-S_a)+(S_b \times S_{exh})$

F = 85.9(921 - 262) + (3.92 x 921)

= 4862635.79 + 3610.32

= $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$

Therefore thrust of the jet engine is $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$ .

Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor system.

SIZIF [17.4K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.

(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?

(b) What is the mass of each box?

Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;

(b) m1 = 915kg;

m2 = 605kg;

m3 = 864.5kg;

Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.

(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:

$F_{pull}=m_{T}.a$

$m_{T}=\frac{F_{pull}}{a}$

$m_{T}=\frac{3615}{1.516}$

$m_{T}=2384.5$

Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.

(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.

For $m_{1}$ :

The only force acting On the $m_{1}$ box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.

$m_{1} = \frac{F_{12}}{a}$

$m_{1} = \frac{1387}{1.516}$

$m_{1}$ = 915kg

For $m_{2}$ :

There are two forces acting on $m_{2}$ : tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:

$m_{2} = \frac{F_{23}-F_{12}}{a}$

$m_{2} = \frac{2304-1387}{1.516}$

$m_{2}$ = 605kg

For $m_{3}$ :

$m_{3} = m_{T} - (m_{1}+m_{2})$

$m_{3} = 2384.5-1520.0$

$m_{3}$ = 864.5kg

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

$R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}$

where:

R = resistance of the wire

$l =$ length of the wire

$a=$ cross sectional area of the wire

from the above relation we observe that

$R\propto l$

$R\propto \frac{1}{a}$

Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

Define an expression for linear expansion of solid

Vesnalui [34]

$\huge \tt \underline \red{answer}$

When something is heated or cooled, its length changes by an amount proportional to the original length and the change in temperature: linear expansion : ΔL=αL0ΔT (α is the coefficient of linear expansion) The coefficient of linear expansion depends only on the material an object is made from.

Thanku have a great day ✨❤️
