How many significant figures are there in : (a) 0.000054 (b) 3.001 x 10^5 (c) 5.600
melomori [17]

Answer:

(a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 4

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

  • Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
  • All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.
  • All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.
  • All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.
  • All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.

As per question,

0.000054 has 2 significant figures.

3.001 x 10⁵ has 4 significant figures.

5.600 has 4 significant figures.

If you apply 100.0 N of force to lift an object with a single, fixed pulley, then what is the resistive force?
quester [9]
<span>If you apply 100.0 N of force to lift an object with a single, fixed pulley, then the resistive force is also equivalent to 100 Newtons of force. Since the weight of the object was not mentioned, it is assumed that it has already been taken into account in the 100 N value of force. This follows Newton's law of motion of equal action and reaction.</span>
