A balance accurate to one-hundredth of a gram measures the mass of a rock to be 56.10 grams. How many significant digits are in

By definition we have to:

The significant figures are the digits of a number that we consider not null.

We have different rules to consider significant figures depending on the number given.

Among some of the rules are:

1) All non-zero digits are significant.

2) For numbers greater than 1, the zeros to the right of the comma are significant.

For this case we have the following number:

56.10 grams

According to the rules, the number zero is counted as a significant figure.

Therefore, the number has four significant figures.

Answer:

56.10 grams = four significant figures.

Noah stands 170 meters away from a steep canyon wall. He shouts and hears the echo of his voice one second later. What is the sp

xxMikexx [17]

answer: 340 m/s

explanation: in this instance, the sound wave travels 340 meters in 1 second, so the speed of the wave is 340 m/s. remember, when there is a reflection, the wave doubles its distance. in other words, the distance traveled by the sound wave in 1 second is equivalent to the 170 meters down to the canyon wall plus the 170 meters back from the canyon wall.

Can someone please help me with these physics problems? I just don’t even know where to start.

#1

for the block of mass 5 kg normal force is given as

$F_n = mg$

$F_n = 5*9.8 = 49 N$

friction force is given as

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$F_f = 0.1*49 = 4.9 N$

Net force is given as

$F_{net} = ma$

$F_{net} = 5*2 = 10 N$

now we know that

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$10 = F_{app} - 4.9$

$F_{app} = 14.9 N$

#2

Normal force is given as

$F_n = mg$

$F_n = 6*9.8$

$F_n = 58.8 N$

now we know that

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$F_{net} = 0$

as object moves with constant velocity

$F_{app} = F_f = 15 N$

now for coefficient of friction we can use

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$15 = \mu * 58.8$

$\mu = 0.255$

#3

net force upwards is given as

$F = 1.2 * 10^{-4} N$

mass is given as

$m = 7 * 10^{-5} kg$

now as per newton's law we can say

$F = ma$

$1.2 * 10^{-4} = 7 * 10^{-5} * a$

$a = 1.71 m/s^2$

#4

As we know that when block is sliding on rough surface

part a)

net force = applied force - frictional force

$F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f$

$ma = F_{app} - F_f$

$5*6 = 40 - F_{f}$

$F_f = 40 - 30 = 10 N$

part b)

for coefficient of friction we can use

$F_f = \mu F_n$

$10 = \mu * F_n$

here normal force is given as

$F_n = mg = 5*9.8 = 49 N$

now we have

$\mu = \frac{10}{49} = 0.204$

#5

if an object is initially at rest and moves 20 m in 5 s

so we can use kinematics to find out the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(5^2)$

$a = 1.6 m/s^2$

now net force is given as

$F_{net} = ma$

$F_{net} = 10*1.6 = 16 N$

#6

an object travelling with speed 25 m/s comes to stop in 1.5 s

so here acceleration of object is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{0 - 25}{1.5} = -16.67 m/s^2$

now the force is gievn as

$F = ma$

$F = 5*16.67 = 83.3 N$

A very long thin wire carries a uniformly distributed charge, which creates an electric field. The electric field is (2300 N/C ,

Leto [7]

Answer:

λ= 5.24 × 10 ⁻² nC/cm

Explanation:

Given:

distance r = 4.10 cm = 0.041 m

Electric field intensity E = 2300 N/C

K = 9 x 10 ⁹ Nm²/C

To find λ = linear charge density = ?

Sol:

we know that E= 2Kλ / r

⇒ λ = -E r/2K (-ve sign show the direction toward the wire)

λ = (- 2300 N/C × 0.041 m) / 2 × 9 x 10 ⁹ Nm²/C

λ = 5.24 × 10 ⁻⁹ C/m

λ = 5.24 nC/m = 5.24 nC/100 cm

λ= 5.24 × 10 ⁻² nC/cm
