Answer : The answer is, 0.2\times 10^{-4}

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is defined as the way or representation of expressing the number that are too big or too small that is written in the decimal form. That means always written in the power of 10 form.

For example : 8000 is written as, 8.0\times 10^3  in this notation, the significant figure is, 1 but 0.8\times 10^4  in this notation, the significant figures are, 2

The given problem are :

\frac{1.8\times 10^{-2}}{9\times 10^2}=0.2\times 10^{-4}

According to the divide and multiplication rules of scientific figures, the final answer is only as precise as the value with the least number of significant figures.

Hence, the answer is, 0.2\times 10^{-4}

The result of division (1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²) is 2.10⁻⁵ (cause the result must have 1 significant number)

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Significant numbers are obtained from measurement results of exact numbers and the last number estimated

This is called significant numbers

The scientific notation can be described as:

a, ... x 10ⁿ

where the power of n is an integer, and the coefficient a is a real number

Rules for significant numbers in general:

  • 1. All non-zero numbers are significant numbers
  • 2. a zero which is located between two non-zero numbers including a significant number
  • 3. all zeros are located in the final row written behind the decimal point of the include significant number
  • 4. zero decimal point is the not significant number
  • 5. In multiplication and division of important numbers, the final results look at the least number of significant numbers.

In the question, it is known that

(1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²) has 2(1.8) and 1(9) significant numbers, so the division of both produces 1 significant number

So that we did the significant number then proceed with rank number

  • 1. Division of siginificant numbers

1.8: 9 = 0.2

  • 2. Division of rank numbers

10⁻²: 10² = 10⁻⁴

So the result = 0.2.10⁻⁴

In the form of scientific notation, it becomes: 2.10⁻⁵

The result has one significant number, which is number 2

Briefly describe four ways that a beam can be strengthened?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1. Changing Beam Material

2. Corrugation

3. Changing Beam form

4. Steel Reinforcing Bars

Explanation:

Changing Beam Material

Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.

Corrugation.

You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.

Changing Beam Form

Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.

iren [92.7K]

There is no reaction.

<em>Molecular equation :</em>

K₂CO₃(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) ⟶ 2KCl(aq) + (NH₄)₂CO₃(aq)

<em>Ionic equation :</em>

2K⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) +2Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2NH₄⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

<em>Net ionic equation :</em>

Cancel all ions that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow (underlined).

<u>2K⁺(aq)</u> + <u>CO₃²⁻(aq)</u> + <u>2NH₄⁺(aq</u>) +<u>2Cl⁻(aq)</u> ⟶ <u>2K⁺(aq)</u> + <u>2Cl⁻(aq</u>) + <u>2NH₄⁺(aq)</u> + <u>CO₃²⁻(aq)</u>

<em>All ions cancel</em>. There is no net ionic equation.

What is meant by the half-life of a radioactive substance
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive atom is the time taken for half of the radioactive nuclei to disintegrate. The shorter the half life, the faster a radioactive nuclei decays.

Half life is often expressed as:

                               Half life = \frac{0.693}{λ}

Where λ is the decay constant.
