What is 16.558 m/s rounded to three significant figures?

Physics
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Option C. 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.

So.

16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

105 km/hr = 29.17 m/s

r = (v²/R) / g

r = (29.17²/8.80) / 9.81

r = 9.85

You place a box weighing 253.1 N on an inclined plane that makes a 39.7◦ angle with the horizontal.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The weight of the box is

W = 253.1N

Weight is on an incline plane

θ = 39.7°

The weight of an object is always acting downward

So, the weight makes an angle of 39.7° with the vertical component

Then, it's horizontal component is

Wx = W•Sinθ

Wx = 253.1 × Sin 39.7°

Wx = 161.67 N

The horizontal component of the weight is 161.67N

This is the force acting down the plane.

Consider the space between a point charge and the surface of a neutral spherical conducting shell. If the charge sits at the cen
Furkat [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If a thin, spherical, conducting shell carries a negative charge, We expect the excess electrons to mutually repel one another, and, thereby, become uniformly distributed over the surface of the shell. The electric field-lines produced outside such a charge distribution point towards the surface of the conductor, and end on the excess electrons. Moreover, the field-lines are normal to the surface of the conductor. This must be the case, otherwise the electric field would have a component parallel to the conducting surface. Since the excess electrons are free to move through the conductor, any parallel component of the field would cause a redistribution of the charges on the shell. This process will only cease when the parallel component has been reduced to zero over the whole surface of the shell

According to Gauss law

∅ = EA =-Q/∈₀

Where ∅  is the electric flux through the gaussian surface and E is the electric field strength

If the gaussian surface encloses no charge, since all of the charge lies on the shell, so it follows from Gauss' law, and symmetry, that the electric field inside the shell is zero. In fact, the electric field inside any closed hollow conductor is zero
