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

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

find the gravitational force this shell exerts on a 1.60 kg point mass placed at the distance 5.01 m from the center of the shel
RideAnS [48]

The gravitational force of the shell exerts is 4.25m x 10¯¹² N.

We need to know about gravitational force to solve this problem. The gravitational force is the force caused by two masses of objects. The magnitude of gravitational force can be determined as

F = G.m1.m2 / R²

where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant (6.674 × 10¯¹¹ Nm²/kg²), m1 and m2 are the mass of the object and R is the radius.

From the question above, we know that

m1 = 1.6 kg

m2 = m

R = 5.01 m

By substituting the following parameters, we get

F = G.m1.m2 / R²

F = 6.674 × 10¯¹¹  . 1.6 . m / 5.01²

F = 4.25m x 10¯¹² N

where m is the mass of the shell

A balloon tied up with a wooden piece is moving upward with velocity of 15m/s. At a height of 300m above the ground, the wooden
Inessa05 [86]
Assume the wooden piece prevents the balloon from rising, is not so heavy as to cause the balloon to descend. and the 15 m/s is horizontal velocity “riding the wind,” That horizontal velocity does not affect the time the wood will take to reach the ground after release. Initial vertical velocity is zero.

s = u t + 1/2 g t^2

s is the height above ground, 300 m.

u is initial vertical velocity, zero.

t is time to reach the ground.

g is acceleration of gravity near Earth, 9.8 m/s^2.

300 m = 0 t + 1/2 (9.8 m/s^2) t^2

300 m = (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

61.22 s^2 = t^2

7.82 seconds = t

If my mass is 196 lbm and I tackle one of my teammates - while decelerating from a velocity of 6.7 m/s to 0 m/s in 0.5 s, how mu
Olin [163]

Answer:

the force acting on the team mate is 1.19 kN.

Explanation:

given,

mass = 196 lbm

while tackling, the deceleration is from velocity 6.7 m/s to 0 m/s

time taken for deceleration = 0.5 sec        

F = mass × acceleration

acceleration = \dfrac{0-6.7}{0.5}              

                     = -13.4 m/s²                            

1 lbs  = 0.453 kg                      

196 lbs = 196 × 0.453  = 88.79 kg

F = 88.79 × 13.4                              

F = 1189.786 N = 1.19 kN                      

hence, the force acting on the team mate is 1.19 kN.
