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

The design phase in which a building project's basic functional requirements are first laid out (square footage, utility and equ
VikaD [51]

Answer:

e. design programming

Explanation:

The planning techniques are responsible for structuring the tasks to be performed within the project, defining the duration and the order of execution of the same, while the programming techniques try to organize the activities so that the logical temporal relationships between them, determining the calendar or the moments of time in which each one must be realized. The programming must be consistent with the objectives pursued and respect existing restrictions (resources, costs, workloads).

The programming therefore consists in setting, in an approximate way, the moments of beginning and termination of each activity. Some activities may have slack and others are critical activities (fixed over time).

STEPS:

Build a time diagram (moments of beginning and slack of activities).

Establish the times of each activity.

Analyze project costs and adjust clearances (minimum cost project).

A simple pendulum consists of a ball connected to one end of a thin brass wire. The period of the pendulum "is 2.51 s". The temp
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

0.0034 sec

Explanation:

L = initial length

T = initial time period = 2.51 s

Time period is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

2.51 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

L = 1.56392 m

L' = new length

ΔT = Rise in temperature = 142 °C

α = coefficient of linear expansion = 19 x 10⁻⁶ °C

New length due to rise of temperature is given as

L' = L + LαΔT

L' = 1.56392 + (1.56392) (19 x 10⁻⁶) (142)

L' = 1.56814 m

T' = New time period

New time period is given as

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1.56814}{9.8}}

T' = 2.5134 sec

Change in time period is given as

ΔT = T' - T

ΔT = 2.5134 - 2.51

ΔT = 0.0034 sec
