Answer:
11,890
Explanation:
First we need to know what is considered a significant figure.
A significant figure is a value that is not a zero at the start OR end of a value.
Which means, the 0 in the value of 90 or 0.363 are not considered a significant figure.
The 0 in the value of 3056 is considered a significant figure.
So from the table, we can deduce:
0.275 has 3 significant figures
750 has 2 significant figures
has 3 significant figures.
11,890 has 4 significant figures.
320,050 has 5 significant figures.
So from the above, we can already see the answer.
Answer:
correct answer is 1 and 3
Explanation:
In direct measurement with an instrument, the precision or absolute error of the instrument is given by its appreciation, in this case we see that the measurements have two decimal places, so the appreciation of the instrument must be 0.01 cm
Based on this appreciation, the valid measurements are 5.52 and 5.5.
the other two measurements have errors much higher than the assessment of the instrument, for which there must have been some errors in the measurement.
The correct answer is 1 and 3
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The figure shows the electric field produced by a spherical charge distribution - this is a radial field, whose strength decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance from the centre of the charge:
More precisely, the strength of the field at a distance r from the centre of the sphere is
where k is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the charge on the sphere.
From the equation, we see that the field strength decreases as we move away from the sphere: therefore, the strength is maximum for the point closest to the sphere, which is point A.
This can also be seen from the density of field lines: in fact, the closer the field lines, the stronger the field. Point A is the point where the lines have highest density, therefore it is also the point where the field is strongest.
