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

A spring with a mass attached is initially at rest. It is then stretched 2 cm by a physics student. Another physics student with

Andrew [12]

The student who displaced the spring by 2 cm has less potential energy than the student who displaced the spring by 4 cm, this is because potential energy (elastic) is directly proportionate to extension (displaced amount), so as the amount of displacement of the spring is higher, then the potential energy of the springs is higher and vice versa.

A 80 kg parent and a 20 kg child meet at the center of an ice rink. They place their hands together and push. The parent pushes

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

force acting on the parent = 25 N .

Explanation:

According to third law of Newton , there is equal and opposite reaction to every action . Here force by the parent on child is action and the force by child on parent is reaction . The former is given as 25 N so force by child on parent will also be 25 N .

Answer is 25 N .

Block A is also connected to a horizontally-mounted spring with a spring constant of 281 J/m2. What is the angular frequency (in

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the formula to be used here is

ω = 2π/T

Where ω is the angular frequency (in rad/s)

T is the period - the time taken for Block A to complete one oscillation and return to it's original position.

To solve for this period T, the formula below should be used

T = 2π√m/k

where m is the mass of the object (Block A) and k is the spring constant (281 J/m²)

An experimental rocket designed to land upright falls freely from a height of 2.59 102 m, starting at rest. At a height of 86.9

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The acceleration required by the rocket in order to have a zero speed on touchdown is 19.96m/s²

The rocket's motion for analysis sake is divided into two phases.

Phase 1: the free fall motion of the rocket from the height 2.59*102m to a height 86.9m

Phase 2: the motion of the rocket due to the acceleration of the rocket also from the height 86.9m to the point of touchdown y = 0m.

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the rocket is 0m/s when it started falling from rest under free fall. g = 9.8m/s² t1 is the time taken for phase 1 and t2 is the time taken for phase2.

The final velocity under free fall becomes the initial velocity for the accelerated motion of the rocket in phase 2 and the final velocity or speed in phase 2 is equal to zero.

The detailed step by step solution to the problems can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you and I hope this solution is helpful to you. Good luck.
