ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. A person walks along

a road 3.0 miles and rests. Then taking another road, he travels 5.00 miles; and switching to a dirt path, he walks 4.000 miles before arriving at his destination. How far has he traveled?

To find the total number of miles traveled by a person, we add the distance that he has traveled: 3.0 + 5.00 + 4.000. 

Now, to find the accurate number of significant figures when adding measurements, the basic rule for addition is to use the least number of decimal places when reporting the result.

Now, since 3.0 has the least number of decimal places, we report the sum with 1 decimal place and have 12.0 miles as the total distance traveled by the person to reach his destination.

Answer: 12.0 miles

Una carga de -10Mc está situada a 20cm delante de otra carga de 5 Mc. Calcular la fuerza electrostática en Newton ejercida por u
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

a)  force between them is attraction,   b)  F = 1.125 10⁻² N

Explanation:

In this case the electric force is given by Coulomb's law

          F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

           

In the exercise they give us the values ​​of the loads

          q1 = - 10 mC = -10 10⁻³ C

          q2 = 5 mC = 5 10⁻³ C

           d = 20 cm = 0.20 m

let's calculate

          F = 9 10⁹ \frac{10 \ 10^{-3} \ 5 \ 10^{-3}}{0.20^2}

          F = 1.125 10⁻² N

To find the direction of the force we use that charges of the same sign repel each other, as in this case there is a positive and a negative charge, the force between them is attraction

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 6.0 kg on Earth?
gregori [183]
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
  • 6 x 9.807
  • = 58.842 N

hope that helps :))

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 25 m lower vert
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}

x =\sqrt{33.5263}

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.
