When is zero considered significant​

Physics
2 answers:
Semenov [28]2 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.

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force F_g = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

5. Why does a Ntion try to influence the value of its currency?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

If inflation is relatively lower than competitors, then the countries goods will become more attractive and demand will rise. Lower inflation tends to increase the value of the currency in the long term.

Weight is used most often for measuring____________________ whereas volume is used most often for measuring_____________________
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid whereas volume is used most often for measuring liquid.

Explanation:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid, because solids have definite shape.  Weight is usually expressed in Newton (N) because it is a function of mass and gravity. ( weight = mass x gravity).

Whereas  volume is used most often for measuring liquid, usually expressed in cubic meter (m³) because liquids have no definite shape, rather they occupy the volume of their container.

Problem 4: A uniform flat disk of radius R and mass 2M is pivoted at point P A point mass of 1/2 M is attached to the edge of th
brilliants [131]

From the case we know that:

  1. The moment of inertia Icm of the uniform flat disk witout the point mass is Icm = MR².
  2. The moment of inerta with respect to point P on the disk without the point mass is Ip = 3MR².
  3. The total moment of inertia (of the disk with the point mass with respect to point P) is I total = 5MR².

Please refer to the image below.

We know from the case, that:

m = 2M

r = R

m2 = 1/2M

distance between the center of mass to point P = p = R

Distance of the point mass to point P = d = 2R

We know that the moment of inertia for an uniform flat disk is 1/2mr². Then the moment of inertia for the uniform flat disk is:

Icm = 1/2mr²

Icm = 1/2(2M)(R²)

Icm = MR² ... (i)

Next, we will find the moment of inertia of the disk with respect to point P. We know that point P is positioned at the arc of the disk. Hence:

Ip = Icm + mp²

Ip = MR² + (2M)R²

Ip = 3MR² ... (ii)

Then, the total moment of inertia of the disk with the point mass is:

I total = Ip + I mass

I total = 3MR² + (1/2M)(2R)²

I total = 3MR² + 2MR²

I total = 5MR² ... (iii)
