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

A puck of mass m moving at speed v on a horizontal, frictionless surface is stopped in a distance d because a hockey stick exert
MArishka [77]

Answer:

-36.71%

Explanation:

Using the Generalized Work Energy Principle, the puck is brought to rest by an external force and the system has no kinetic energy

U_i+W=U_f\\K_i+W=K_f\\\\0.5mv_i^2+F\bigtriangleup xcos\theta=0J\\\\0.5mv_i^2+F\bigtriangleup xcos180\textdegree=0J\\\\0.5mv_i^2=F\bigtriangleup x\\\\F=\frac{0.5mv_i^2}{2\bigtriangleup x}

#Denote the stopping distance and force required with a prime and observe from (i) that:

F\infty\frac{1}{\bigtriangleup x}\\\\F\prime =F.\frac{\bigtriangleup x}{(\bigtriangleup x)\prime}\\\\  #If stopping distance increases by a factor of 79/50;

F\prime=F.(79/50)^-^1\\\\F\prime=\frac{50F}{79}\\\\\therefore \bigtriangleup F=F\prime -F\\\\\bigtriangleup F=\frac{50F}{79}-F=-\frac{29F}{79}

So F decreases by 36.71% . we expect force to reduce since the same amount of work is repeatedly done on the system over a long distance.

Tectonic plates move due to _____ forces.
wel
<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

Can anyone please explain this point with an example. I have presentation tomorrow.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

Efficiency is a way of describing the amount of useful ​output​ a process or machine can generate as a percentage of the ​input​ required to make it go. In other words, it compares how much energy is used to do work versus how much is lost or wasted to the environment. The more efficient the machine, the less energy wasted.

For example, if a heat engine is able to turn 75 percent of the fuel it receives into motion, while 25 percent is lost as heat in the process, it would be 75 percent efficient. Out of the original 100 percent of the fuel, 75 percent was output as useful work.  

the equation:

energy efficiency =useful output energy/total input energy
