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.

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 $\theta=37.0\textdegree$

Weight of sculpture $W=5000 N$

Generally the Tension from cable 2 $T_2$ is mathematically given by

$T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N$

$T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree$

$T_2=8308.2N$

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 $T_1$ is mathematically given by

$T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree$

$T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree$

$T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N$

a stone is dropped from top of a tower of 50m high ,simltaneously another stone is thrown upward with a speed of 20m/s find the

aleksklad [387]

At the time that I'll call ' Q ', the height of the stone that was
dropped from the tower is

   H = 50 - (1/2 G Q²) ,

and the height of the stone that was tossed straight up
from the ground is

   H = 20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

The stones meet when them's heights are equal,
so that's the time when

   <span>50 - (1/2 G Q²) = 20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

This is looking like it's going to be easy.

Add </span><span>(1/2 G Q²) to each side.
Then it says
       50 = 20Q

Divide each side by 20: 2.5 = Q .

And there we are. The stones pass each other

   2.5 seconds

after they are simultaneously launched.

A balloon will stick to a wooden wall if the balloon is charged

grigory [225]

<h2>Answer: either way</h2>

The balloon contains neutral charge atoms, that is, it has the same number of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge).

Then, when two objects come into contact, the electrons of one of them can become part of the other.

Thus, by bringing the balloon closer to the wall, the wall, which is also made up of atoms, will reorder its charges in such a way that its electrons or protons become part of the balloon, charging it.
