43.278 kg - 28.1 g use significant figures rule

You cannot directly subtract the given values because their units are different. To be consistent, let's convert kilograms to grams with the conversion that 1,000 g = 1 kg.

43.278 kg(1,000 g/1 kg) - 28.1 g = 43249.9 grams

In subtraction, you will base the number of significant figures to the least of the given data. Since 28.1 has 3 significant figures, the answer should also contain 3 significant figures. Thus, it is much more convenient to report it in terms of kilograms.

43249.9 grams * 1 kg/ 1,000 g = 43.2 kg

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).

A football punker attempts to kick the football so that it lands on the ground 67.0 m from where it is kicked and stays in the a
Flauer [41]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. We will find the two components of velocity and finally by geometric and vector relations we will find both the angle and the magnitude of the vector. In the case of horizontal speed we have to

v_x = \frac{x}{t}

v_x = \frac{67}{4.5}

v_x = 14.89m/s

The vertical component of velocity is

-h = v_y t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here,

h = Height

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = Time

v_y = Vertical component of velocity

-1.23 = v_y(4.5)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4.5)^2

-1.23= 4.5v_y - 99.225

v_y = 21.77m/s

The direction of the velocity will be given by the tangent of the components, then

tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{21.77}{14.89})

\theta = 55.59\°

The magnitude is given vectorially as,

|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

|V| = \sqrt{14.89^2 +21.77^2}

|V| = 26.37m/s

Therefore the angle is 55.59° and the velocity is 26.37m/s

What is the deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h? (such deceleration caused on
Wewaii [24]

The deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h is  252.52\ m/s^2.

The acceleration in opposite direction is known as the deceleration. Basically the deceleration is negative value of the acceleration since the negative sign depicts its opposite in direction.

The given data:

time, t = 1.1 s

initial speed, u = 1000 km/h = \frac{2500}{9}\ m/s

final speed, v = 0 m/s

So we will be using the equation of motion, that is,

v = u + at

\therefore 0=\frac{2500}{9} + a(1.1)

\Rightarrow a=-\frac{2500}{9(1.1)}

\therefore a = - 252.52 \ m/s^2

Hence , the deceleration of the rocket is  252.52\ m/s^2.
