What is the number of significant digits in the measurement 104.100 m?

Physics
1 answer:
Oksana_A [137]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

6

6 significant digits

Explanation:

Number of significant digits of a number are the number of digits that carry a relevant contribution to the measurement.

For the case above;

104.100

rule - all digits to the right of the decimal of any number equal or greater than 1 will count as a significant digit.

104.100 --- .100 ( the three digits counts)

And since the the digits to the left are none zero digits, so they all count as significant digits.

104.100 --- 104 ( the three digits counts)

The total number of significant digits,

Since all the digits of the number 104.100 will count as a significant digit.

The number of significant digits is equal to the number of digits in the number.

N = 6

6 significant digits

If a FM radio station broadcasts at 80. 3 MHz (megahertz), what is its wavelength in m (speed of light 3. 0 x 108 m/s)
hammer [34]

Answer:

Wavelength = 3.74 m

Explanation:

In order to find wavelength in "metres", we must first convert megahertz to hertz.

1 MHz = 1 × 10⁶ Hz

80.3 Mhz = <em>x</em>

<em>x </em>= 80.3 × 1 × 10⁶ = 8.03 × 10⁷ Hz

The formula between wave speed, frequency and wavelength is:

v = fλ  [where v is wave speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength]

Reorganise the equation and make λ the subject.

λ = v ÷ f

λ = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ (8.03 × 10⁷)

λ = 3.74 m [rounded to 3 significant figures]

The fast server in women's tennis is Venus Williams, who recorded a serve of 130 mi/h (209 km/h) in 2007 If her racket pushed on
Darina [25.2K]
209 km/h = 58.0 m/s

2as = v² - u²
Assuming the ball started from rest,

a = (58)² / 2 x 0.11

a = 15,290 m/s²

If the diameter of the black marble is 3.0cm, and bye using the formula for volume, what is a good approximation if it’s volume?
tia_tia [17]

Complete question is;

If the diameter of the black marble is 3.0 cm, and by using the formula for volume, what is a good approximation of its volume?

Answer:

14 cm³

Explanation:

We will assume that this black marble has the shape of a sphere from online sources.

Now, volume of a sphere is given by;

V = (4/3)πr³

We are given diameter = 3 cm

We know that radius = diameter/2

Thus; radius = 3/2 = 1.5 cm

So, volume = (4/3)π(1.5)³

Volume ≈ 14.14 cm³

A good approximation of its volume = 14 cm³

According to string theory, six space-time dimensions cannot be measured except as quantum numbers of internal particle properti
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

10^{-35}\ meters

Explanation:

The string theory is a theoretical concept, the very small particles of particle physics are rep[laced by strings. This theory also applies to black hole physics, nuclear physics, cosmology etc.

According to string theory, six space-time dimensions cannot be measured except as quantum numbers of internal particle properties because they are curled up in size of the order of 10^{-35}\ m.

The length of the scale is assumed to be on the order of 10^{-35}\ m. Hence, the correct option is (a).

6. You are in an airplane going down a runway currently going 24 m/s and accelerating at 8 m/s?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The time taken by the airplane to take off, t = 11.46 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial velocity of the airplane, u = 24 m/s

The acceleration of the plane, a = 8 m/s

The distance covered until take off, d = 800 m

Using the III equation of motion,

                      v² = u² +2as

                           = 24² + 2 x 8 x 800

                           = 13376

                       v = 115.65 m/s

Using the first equation of motion,

                      v = u + at

                       t = (v-u) / a

                         = (115.65 - 24) / 8

                         = 11.46 s

Hence, the time taken by the airplane to take off, t = 11.46 s
