43.278 kg - 28.1 g use significant figures rule

Physics
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]3 years ago
3 0
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

How much total surface of the moon is illuminated by the sun when it is at quarter phase?
alex41 [277]
50% of the moon is always illuminated, however during it's quarter phase means that we only see a quarter of what's really lit up. So it LOOKS like the moon is only 25% lit and 75% dark, it's truly 50/50. We only see that 25% since we can see it from one angle.

Why the effect of gravitational force is more in liquid than in solid?​
LekaFEV [45]
  • Gravitational force depends only on mass and distance, not on the state of matter.
  • The forces of attraction between molecules in matter are electromagnetic in nature, not gravitational.
  • These attractive forces are stronger in a solid than in a liquid than in a gas.
  • Gravitational forces between molecules is completely negligible compared to the em forces.

So, key answer is inter-molecular forces of solids is stronger than liquids.
