43.278 kg - 28.1 g use significant figures rule

Physics

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

(ASAP) would it be 125 m/s2 to calculate for her speeding up?
serg [7]

Answer:

0\:\mathrm{ m/s^2}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for acceleration:

\displaystyle\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}, where v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and \Delta t is elapsed time (change in velocity over this amount of time).

Let's look at our time vs velocity graph. At t=0 seconds, V=25 m/s. So her initial velocity is 25 m/s.

We want to find the acceleration during the first 5 seconds of motion. Well, looking at our graph, at t=5 seconds, isn't our velocity still 25 m/s? Therefore, final velocity is 25 m/s (for this period of 5 seconds).

We are only looking from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds which is a total period of 5 seconds. Therefore, elapsed time is 5 seconds.

Substituting values in our formula, we have:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-25}{5}=\frac{0}{5}=\boxed{0\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

Alternative:

Without even worrying about plugging in numbers, let's think about what acceleration actually is! Acceleration is the change in velocity over a certain period of time. If we are not changing our velocity at all, we aren't accelerating! In the graph, we can see that we have a straight line from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds, the interval we are worried about. This indicates that our velocity is staying the same! At t=0 seconds, we have a velocity of 25 m/s and that velocity stays the same until t=5 seconds. Even though we are moving, we haven't changed velocity, which means our average acceleration is zero!

Why is it important for body cell to have twice and many chromosomes as sex cells?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Why sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body?  As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. Why? The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.
