Answer:

False

Explanation:

The rules for significant figures are:

  • Non-zero digits are always significant.
  • Zeros between significant digits are also significant.
  • Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

A zero before a decimal point is only significant if there's a non-zero digit before it.

For example, in the number 10.5, the zero is significant, because it is between significant digits.

But in the number 0.5, the zero is not significant.

An airplane flies in a loop (a circular path in a vertical plane) of radius 160 m . The pilot's head always points toward the ce
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) 39.6 m/s b) 4123 N

Explanation:

a) At the top of the loop, all of the forces point downwards (force of gravity and normal force).

Fnet=ma

ma=m(v^2/R) (centripetal acceleration)

mg=m(v^2/R)

m cancels out (this is why pilot feels weightless) so,

g=(v^2/R)

9.8 m/s^2 = v^2/160 m

v^2=1568 m^2/s^2

v=39.6 m/s

b) At the bottom of the loop, the normal force and the force of gravity point in opposite directions. The normal force is the weight felt.

Convert 300 km/hr to m/s

300 km/hr=83.3 m/s

Convert pilot's weight into mass:

760 N = 77.55 kg

Fnet=ma

n-mg=m(v^2/R)

n=(77.55 kg)(((83.3 m/s)^2)/160 m)+(77.55 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

n=3363.2 N+760 N=4123 N

Part A.)Six boxes held at rest against identical walls.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a body is held against a vertical wall , to keep them in balanced position , normal force is applied on their surface . this force creates normal reaction which acts against the normal force and it is equal to the normal force as per newton's third law . Ultimately friction force is created which is proportional to normal force and it acts in vertically upward direction . It prevents the body from falling down .

Hence normal force = reaction force .

From second law also net force is zero , so if  normal force is N and reaction force is R

R - N = mass x acceleration = mass x 0 = 0

R = N .

Ranking normal force from  highest  to smallest

150 N , 130 N , 120 N

B )

Frictional force is equal to the weight of the body because the body is held at rest .

Ranking of frictional force form largest to smallest

7 kg , 5 kg , 3 kg , 1 kg .

Here frictional force is irrespective of the normal force acting on the body  because frictional force adjusts itself so that it becomes equal to weight in all cases here because it always balances the weight of the body .

A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30 m/s, and air resistance is negligible. How long does it take the ball to reach t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

Applying,

v = u±gt................ Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 30 m/s

Constant: g = -10 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

0 = 30-10t

10t = 30

t = 30/10

t = 3 seconds

A 5.0-ohm resistor, a 10.0-ohm resistor, and a 15.0-ohm resistor are connected in parallel with a battery. The current through t
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

E = 3456 J

Explanation:

The electrical energy expended in a resistor can be easily calculated by using the following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Expended = ?

I = current through 5 ohm resistor = 2.4 A

R = Resistance = 5 ohms

P = Electrical Power = VI

Since,

V = IR (Ohm's Law)

Therefore,

P = (IR)(I) = I²R = (2.4 A)²(5 ohms) = 28.8 Watt

t = time taken = (2 min)(60 s/1 min) = 120 s

Therefore,

E = (28.8 Watt)(120 s)

<u>E = 3456 J</u>

What is the source of geothermal energy? User: What is the source of geothermal energy?
bazaltina [42]

The answer is; C

In particular points in the earth’s surface, underground water is naturally heated to steam that can be harness for geothermal energy. The steam that ejects from the ground with high kinetic energy can be used to turn turbines that generate electricity. The underground water is usually heated by the hot rocks beneath that are subjected to the immense heat of magma or the enormous pressure of overlying crust.
