Here we have to add the two measurements given in the question

The measurement values are given as 1.0090 cm and 0.02 cm.we have to add them on the basis of significant figure rules.

As per the addition rule in terms of significant figures

1-First we have to select the number of significant digits after the decimal point of each quantity.

2-Now we have to remember that during the addition ,the resultant of two quantities will follow the quantity having least number of significant figures after the decimal point.

3-Here we are considering the minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points not the minimum number of significant figures in case of multiplication and division

Now we have to add these two quantities as per the above rule-

1.0090 cm +0.02 cm

=1.0290 cm

Here the result will follow 0.02 which has minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points.

Hence we have to round off the number from 9 of 1.0290

As 9 is greater than 5 ,so he actual result will be 1.03 cm

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated. a) Contraction b) Expansion c) kinetic energy d) Volume

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

b) Expansion

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that involves an increase or decrease in the volume of a physical object (object). Also, this change can be reversed to the original state under certain conditions.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated causes an expansion.

This ultimately implies that, when a physical object (matter) is heated for a specific period of time, it result in an increase in the volume of the object; this phenomenon is generally referred to as expansion.

On the other hand, a decrease in volume of a physical object (matter) as a result of heat is known as contraction.

force of 10 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching it

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Given force=10lb

L1=4in converting to feet

But 0.08333ft= 1 inch

Then 4 inch is 0.3332

6inch is 0.49998

But hookes law states

F=Kx where F is force,K is the force constant ,X

K=F/X=10/0.3333=30N/m

Integrating this

Integral of 30x with limit 0.333 to 0.5

F=30x^2/2=15x^2substing the limit

F=(15(0.5^2-0.33^2)=2.08ft-lb

And I need help with seven and eight only I will appreciate it

Mumz [18]

Answer:

7] Force = mass × acceleration

Force = 2 × 5

Force = 10 N

8] Velocity = acceleration due to gravity × time taken

Velocity = 9.8 × 12

Velocity = 117.6 m/s

A child sleds down a hill with an acceleration of 2.94 m/s2. If her initial speed is 0.0 m/s and her final speed is 17.5 m/s, ho

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The child will take 5.952 seconds to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom.

Explanation:

Given that the child accelerates uniformly and that both initial ( $v_{o}$ ) and final speeds ( $v_{f}$ ), measured in meters per second, and acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, are known, we proceed to use the following kinematic equation to determine the time taken to travel from the top of the hill to the bottom ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is:
