there are three rules for significant numbers

all non zero digits i.e 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 are always significant.

all or Any zero in  between 2 significant digits or numbers are significant.

trailing zeros or final zero in the decimal part  are considered significant.

According to the rules of significant figures( described above), the zeros after the decimal point are significant hence 54289.00 has seven significant figures instead of five.

 In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

B) Electrons and protons  

Explanation:

Each proton has a positive charge, and each electron has a negative charge. If the atom is electrically neutral, there must be the same number of electrons and protons.

A) and C) are wrong. Neutrons have no charge, so they can't counteract that of the protons or the electrons.

D) is wrong. The atomic number is the number of protons, and the mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons. The neutrons can't  counteract the charge of the protons,

A 125 W motor accelerates a block along a level, frictionless surface at an average speed of 5.0
Lelu [443]

Answer:

25N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of the motor = 125W

Average speed  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Force supplied to the motor = ?

Solution:

 Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;

         Work done  = Force x distance

Also,

        Work done  = Power x time

 

So;

             Force x distance = Power  x time

  since force is the unknown;

            Force  = \frac{Power x time}{distance}

         Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}

             Force  = \frac{Power}{speed}

Now solve;

                Force  = \frac{125}{5}    = 25N
