6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.

0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.

The stronger the wind, the larger the particles it erodes.

Fittoniya [83]

I believe the statement above is true. The stronger the wind, the larger the particles it erodes<span>. The stronger the wind, the larger the particles that are carried away.

A student is given the question: "what is the mass of a gold bar that is 7.379 × 10–4 m3 in volume? the density of gold is 19.3

IRINA_888 [86]

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

With the same mass, the volume of objects that have a high density will be smaller than type

The unit of density can be expressed in g / cm3 or kg / m3

Density formula:

$\large{\boxed{{\bold{\rho~=~\frac{m}{V}}}}$

ρ = density

m = mass

v = volume

A common example is the water density of 1 gr / cm3

The mass itself is often equated with weight, even though it is different. Mass is the amount of matter in the matter while weight is related to the gravitational force

<em>Known variable</em>

volume gold bar 7.379 × 10⁻⁴ m³

a density of 19.3 g/cm³

<em>Asked</em>

the mass of a gold bar

<em>Answer</em>

volume is known to be 7.379 × 10⁻⁴ m³, then we change it first to units of cm³ adjusting to units of density

7.379 × 10⁻⁴ m³ = 7.379 × 10² cm³

then:

mass = volume x density

mass = 7.379 × 10² cm³ x 19.3 g/cm³

mass = 1.424 x 10⁴ gram
