Physics
2 answers:
Semenov [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The trailing zero to the right in the decimal place and the zero present between the non zero digit are significant.

Explanation:

The rules which describes about the significant digits are discussed below as:

  • All the digits which are non zero are significant. Example 178 has three significant digits.
  • The zero which is present in between two non zero digits are consider significant. Example 507 has 3 significant digits.
  • The leading zeroes are not consider significant. Example 0.00676 has 3 significant digits only.
  • Trailing zero to the right in the decimal is consider significant. Example 3.0 has 2 significant digits.
  • Trailing zero which is present in the whole number without any decimal are not significant. Example 9800 has only 2 significant digit.

If a zero is found between significant digits, it is significant. Zeros can be used as (insignificant) place holders to the left of significant digits if the number is a decimal. For example, a mass of 42 g has two significant digits. Expressed in kilograms, the mass of 0.042kg should still have two significant digits.

The lowest note on a grand piano has a frequency of 27.5 Hz. The entire string is 2.00 m long and has a mass of 400 g. The vibra
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1456 N

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of the piano, f = 27.5 Hz

Entire length of the string, l = 2 m

Mass of the piano, m = 400 g

Length of the vibrating section of the string, L = 1.9 m

Tension needed, T = ?

The formula for the tension is represented as

T = 4mL²f²/ l, where

T = tension

m = mass

L = length of vibrating part

F = frequency

l = length of the whole part

If we substitute and apply the values we have Fri. The question, we would have

T = (4 * 0.4 * 1.9² * 27.5²) / 2

T = 4368.1 / 2

T = 1456 N

Thus, we could conclude that the tension needed to tune the string properly is 1456 N

Which of these statements is correct about photosynthesis and decomposition?
Ede4ka [16]
<span>The last option. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, water from the soil and other nutrients also from the soil - salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. They use water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar through photosyntesis. Decomposition is the reaction that converts any organic compound back into inorganic compounds - water, carbon dioxide and salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. So it's basically the opposite. So photosyntesis uses carbon dioxide as a reactive and take it from the atmosphere, whereas decomposition generates carbon dioxide as a product and releases it to the atmosphere.</span>
