Are zero at the end of a number significant

1 answer:

3 0

YES IT IS if you add a zero to Zeroes placed between other digits are always significant; 4009 kg has foursignificant digits. Zeroes placed after other digits but behind a decimal point aresignificant; 7.90 has three significant digits. Zeroes at the end of a number aresignificant only if they are behind a decimal point as in (c).

The world record for the 100.0 meter dash is 9.580 seconds. Find the speed of the runner in miles per hour.

grigory [225]

Answer:

233.1 miles per hours

Explanation:

Speed: This is defined as the ratio of distance to time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s. speed is a vector quantity because it can only be represented by magnitude only. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as,

S = d/t ....................... Equation 1

Where S = speed of the runner, d = distance covered, t = time.

Given: d = 100 meter , t = 9.580 seconds

Conversion:

If, 1 meter = 0.00062 miles

Then, 100 meters = (0.00062×100) miles = 0.62 miles.

Also

If, 3600 s = 1 h

Then, 9.580 s = (1×9.580)/3600 = 0.00266 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

S = 0.62/0.00266

S = 233.1 miles per hours.

Hence the runner speed is 233.1 miles per hours

The Sun’s surface temperature is about 5800 K and its spectrum peaks at 5000 Å. An O-type star’s surface temperature may be 40,0

nirvana33 [79]

(a) $7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m$

Wien's displacement law is summarized by the equation

$\lambda = \frac{b}{T}$

where

$\lambda$ is the peak wavelength

$b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m \cdot K$ is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature at the surface of the star

For an O-type star, we have

T = 40,000 K

Therefore, its peak wavelength is

$\lambda = \frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{40000}=7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m$

(b) Ultraviolet

We can answer this part by looking at the wavelength range of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum:

gamma rays

X-rays 1 nm - 1 pm

ultraviolet 380 nm - 1 nm

visible light 750 nm - 380 nm

infrared $25 \mu m - 750 nm$

microwaves 1 mm - $25 \mu m$

radio waves > 1 mm

The peak wavelength of this star is

$\lambda=7.25\cdot 10^{-8}m=72.5 nm$

Therefore, it falls in the ultraviolet region.

(c) No

The Keck telescopes is actually a system of 2 telescopes in the Keck Observatory, located in Mauna kea, Hawai.

The two telescopes, thanks to several instruments, are able to detect much of the electromagnetic radiation in the visible ligth and infrared parts of the spectrum. However, they are not able to detect light in the ultraviolet region: therefore, they cannot observe the star mentioned in the previous part of the problem.
