43.278 kg - 28.1 g use significant figures rule

1 answer:

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

A vehicle in for repair has a burst upper radiator tank. Technician A says thermostat that was stuck in the open position could

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Technician B

Explanation:

A thermostat being stuck in an open position allows coolant to constantly circulate through the radiator which will cause a drop in the temperature of the engine. Hence, thermostat being stuck in an open position has nothing to do with burst upper radiator.

On the other hand, a radiator cap controls the pressure within the radiator which needs to be kept constant in order prevent overheating or damage to the radiator itself.

Therefore, technician B is correct.

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in a series circuit with a battery. The resistance of A is twice that of B. Which resistor

IgorC [24]

Answer:

A dissipates more power.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, the current is the same at any point in it.
The power dissipated in any resistor follows Joule's law, as follows:

$P = I^{2} * R$

So, for a given current, the power is directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
In this case, as resistor A has twice the resistance of resistor B, A dissipates twice more power than B.
