The sensitivity of a measuring instrument is the value of the smallest quantity that can be read or estimated with it. What is t

he smallest part of a centimeter that can be read with the following?
(a) a meterstick with markings at each millimeter.

(b) a digital caliper with a four-digit display

I've got an answer for (a) which was 0.05cm, and tried the following for (b) but none was correct:

0.0001cm, 0.01mm, 0.002mm

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.

A grape is thrown straight up in the air. If it was thrown at 2 m/s, how high will it go in the air?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Answer: <u>Height</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

Explanation:

At the highest point, it is called the maximum height.

• From third newton's equation of motion:

{ \rm{ {v}^{2}  =  {u}^{2}  + 2gs}}

• At maximum height, v is zero

• u is initial speed

• g is -9.8 m/s²

• s is the height

{ \rm{0 {}^{2}  =  {2}^{2}   -  (2 \times 9.8 \times s)}} \\  \\ { \rm{4 = 19.6s}} \\  \\ { \rm{s = 0.204 \: m}}

Estimate the number of atoms in 1 cm^3 of a solid
dexar [7]
Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is present in 1mol of a solid (i.e. 22, 400 cm3)

Hence, in 1 cm3, 6.02 x 10^23 /22400 atoms is present = 2 x 10 ^ 19 atoms.

TEA [102]

Answer:3,45 x 10^9 N

Explanation: We have considered the total charge for each coin , this is the total atoms x 29 electrons for cooper and multiplier by electron charge, the total charge for each coin is 0,464 C

Finally we use the Coulomb law,

F=k Q/ (r)^2
