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 lawn sprinkler consists of four arms that rotate in the horizontal plane. The diameter of each nozzle is 8 mm, and the water

sashaice [31]

Answer: the constant angular velocity of the arms is 86.1883 rad/sec

Explanation:

First we calculate the linear velocity of the single sprinkler;

Area of the nozzle = π/4 × d²

given that d = 8mm = 8 × 10⁻³

Area of the nozzle = π/4 × (8 × 10⁻³)²

A = 5.024 × 10⁻⁵ m²

Now total discharge is dived into 4 jets so discharge for single jet will be;

Q_single = Q / n = 0.006 / 4 = 1.5 × 10⁻³ m³/sec

So using continuity equation ;

Q_single = A × V_single

V_single = Q_single/A

we substitute

V_single = (1.5 × 10⁻³) / (5.024 × 10⁻⁵)

V_single = 29.8566 m/s

Now resolving the forces as shown in the second image,

Vt = Vcos30°

Vt = 29.8566 × cos30°

Vt = 25.8565 m/s

Finally we calculate the angular velocity;

Vt = rω

ω_single = Vt / r

from the given diagram, radius is 300mm = 0.3m

so we substitute

ω_single = 25.8565 / 0.3

ω_single = 86.1883 rad/sec

Therefore the constant angular velocity of the arms is 86.1883 rad/sec

Suppose that a wind is blowing in the direction S45°E at a speed of 30 km/h. A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E

Kay [80]

Answer:

The true course: $40.29^\circ$ north of east

The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

$V_w$ = velocity of wind = $30\ km/h\ S45^\circ E = (30\cos 45^\circ\ \hat{i}-30\sin 45^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

$V_p$ = velocity of plane in still air = $100\ km/h\ N60^\circ E = (100\cos 60^\circ\ \hat{i}+100\sin 60^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Assume:

$V_r$ = resultant velocity of the plane

$\theta$ = direction of the plane with the east

Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.

$\therefore V_r = V_p+V_w\\\Rightarrow V_r = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h+(21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h\\\Rightarrow V_r = (71.21\ \hat{i}+65.39\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:

$\theta = \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{65.39}{71.21})\\\Rightarrow \theta = 40.29^\circ$

This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of $40.29^\circ$ north of east.

The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.

$\therefore Magnitude = \sqrt{71.21^2+65.39^2} = 96.68\ km/h$

Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.

Which of the following statements it's true about Sir isaac Newton

krek1111 [17]

The legend is that he discovered gravity when an apple feel on his head. I don’t know what the true story is, but that’s what I’ve heard so maybe A??
Although, I’m pretty sure it could also be C
So... between A and C, however, I don’t want you to get it wrong so I would recommend getting another opinion
Hope this helps!
