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

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is T =  0.700 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass is m =  0.350  \ kg

     The extension of the spring is  x =  12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m

       

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

       F  =  mg  =  0.350 * 9.8

       F  =3.43 \ N

So  

    k  = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}

    k  = 28.583 \ N/m

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

      T =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

substituting values

     T =  2  *  3.142*  \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }

     T =  0.700 \ s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Answer: It takes 5,730 years for half the carbon-14 to change to nitrogen; this is the half-life of carbon-14. After another 5,730 years only one-quarter of the original carbon-14 will remain

Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on a 1.20-m length of the other.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Incomplete question.The complete question is attached below as screenshot along with figure

Answer:

F=6.00*10^{-6}N

Force is repulsive

Explanation:

Given data

Current I₁=5.00A

Current I₂=2.00A

Length L=1.20 m

Radius r=0.400m

To find

Force F

Solution

As the force is repulsive because currents are in opposite direction

From repulsive force we know that:

F=\frac{u_{o}I_{1}I_{2}L}{2\pi r}

Substitute the given values

F=\frac{u_{o}(5.00A)(2.00A)(1.20m)}{2\pi (0.400m)}\\ F=6.00*10^{-6}N
