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

What changes in airplane longitudinal control must be made to maintain altitude while the airspeed is being decreased?
garik1379 [7]

Explanation:

The  changes can be made in airplane longitudinal control to maintain altitude while the airspeed is being decreased is

We can increase the angle of attack this would compensate for the decreasing lift. As the angle of attack directly controls the distribution of pressure on the wings. Moreover, increase in angle of attack will also cause the drag to increase.

Both slicing a tomato and a chemical change such as burning toast cannot be reversed. however why is slicing a tomato sill consi
kondaur [170]
Slicing a tomato is still considered a physical change because you are only altering the shape of it by slicing it. It does not change color or make bubble when slicing the tomato. Therefore, it is still a physical change
hope this helps:)

Which part of an atom makes up most of its volume ?
alexandr1967 [171]
Remember that like charges repel each other. That is, positive repels positive and negative repels negative. Similar to how the north poles of magnets repel each other and south poles repel. However, at the atomic scale, protons, which have positive charge, are more influenced by the "Strong Force," which binds them close together. If they were to be separated ever so slightly, then the electromagnetic force would take over and they would repel each other like you'd expect. 

Neutrons are also held together via the Strong Force, but don't have a charge so when separated, don't have an electromagnetic force pushing them away from each other.

However, electrons act differently. There is no "Strong Force" just the electromagnetic force. So, they keep a great distance from each other. 

So in an atom, protons and neutrons stay close to each other, taking up little volume, while electrons take up a lot of volume.

BTW, the reason why electrons and protons act differently when they are close together is because protons are made up of smaller particles the carry this Strong Force. For electrons, there is no smaller constituent. And therefore, all you have is the electromagnetic force to influence it. That's it.

Hope that helps.

Find expressions for the force needed to bring an object of mass m from rest to speed v in time t. express your answer in terms
VARVARA [1.3K]
Good morning.

We have that:

\mathsf{V = a\cdot t} , since we have rest in the inicial time.

The acceleration can be found with Newton's Law:

\mathsf{F = m\cdot a\iff a = \dfrac{F}{m}}

Now we put the acceleratin in the velocity equation:

\mathsf{V = \dfrac{F}{m} \cdot t}

We want the force, so, let's isolate F:

\mathsf{V\cdot m = F\cdot t}\\ \\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{F = \dfrac{V\cdot m}{t}}}
