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.

What is the critical angle of a light beam passed from a medium (n=2) to a medium (n=1.2)?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

θ_c = 36.87°

Explanation:

Index of refraction for index medium; n_i = 2

Index of refraction for Refractive medium; n_r = 1.2

Formula to find the critical angle is given;

n_i(sin θ_c) = n_r(sin 90)

Where θ_c is critical angle.

Thus;

2 × (sin θ_c) = 1.2 × 1

(sin θ_c) = 1.2/2

(sin θ_c) = 0.6

θ_c = sin^(-1) 0.6

θ_c = 36.87°

A certain car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 s. What is the car's average acceleration in mph/s?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

<em>a = 7.6\ mph/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation [for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}

a = 7.6\ mph/s
