Answer:

There are <u>5</u> significant figures.

Explanation:

You must start conting your sig figs until you continue to hit zeros at the end. Those zeroes at the end are disregarded. So 0.0609 is where you get your <em>sig figs</em> from.

Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de

-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

$s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}$ ...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

$2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}$

When x = 40, $s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}$

$x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A cassette recorder uses a plug-in transformer to convert 120 V to 12.0 V, with a maximum current output of 200 mA. What is the

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

20 mA

Explanation:

We have given that the transformer convert 120 V to 12 V means it is a step down transformer

The turn ratio of the transformer is given as $a=\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{120}{12}=10$ here $V_!$ is primary voltage and $V_2$ is secondary voltage

As the voltage decreases from primary to secondary so current will increase from primary to secondary

We have given output current that is secondary current so primary that is input current will be less

So input current $=\frac{200}{10}=20mA$
