A bowling ball is pushed with a force of 22.0 N and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2. What is the mass of the bowling ball? Ik the answer

is 4.0, but I got it wrong for 4.00. I based the significant numbers off the 22.0 but apparently it's the 5.5. I always get it wrong when the question involves two numbers with different amounts of significant numbers (sometimes I use the smaller one but it wanted the bigger). How do I know when to use more or less significant numbers?

Step-by-step explanation:

You should always use the least number of significant figures.  The exception is exact numbers or constants.

For example, there are 60 minutes in an hour.  Even though this number has one significant figure, it is an exact number.  So 15 minutes converted to hours would be 0.25 hr.

From what I'm understanding of these questions, the biggest thing you need to answer these is the formulas for cylinders and triangular prisms. I'm not sure what the quantities are for either question so I'm going to work with made up numbers to give examples for the formulas. For number 2 with the cylinder, let's consider the formula first:

π × r2 × h    <em>OR    </em>pi (3.14) times radius squared times height

If you have the height and you have pi, all you need to take is the doubled radius (aka multiply it by 2) and plug that back into the formula. For the sake of an example, I'm going to make up the number 2 for the radius and 6 for the height. Here's what that would look like:

r = 2; double it, resulting in 4

pi x 4^2 x 6

3.14 x 16 x 6

= 301.44

Work with the actual numbers you have and you're good to go.

For number 3, reducing something by 1/2 means dividing by 2. Let's consider the formula and then work through another example:

1/2 x b x h x l   <em>OR </em>   1/2 times base times height times length

For the sake of an example, I'll use 10 for the height, 15 for the base, and 20 for the length:

h = 10; reduce by 1/2, resulting in 5

1/2 x 15 x 5 x 20

= 750

Plug in your actual quantities, and remember your volume units. Hope this helps!

Answer:

13 is c

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the  length of a diagonal, pretend as if you are finding the hypotenuse of a triangle.

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2

25 + 144 = 169

the square root of 169 is 13

Answer:

f(x) = 30 • 0.989x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

10 26.8

20 23.9

30 21.3

40 19

50 16.9

60 15.1

Using technology, the exponential model equation obtained by plotting the data is :

y = 30.068(0.989)^x

Based on the general exponential formula :

y = ab^x

y = predicted value

Initial value, a = 30.068

Rate = b = 0.989

The most appropriate model equation from the options given is :

f(x) = 30 • 0.989^x

Please help meee! :&lt; An author receives $0.60 for each hardcover book or paperback book that is sold. There were x hardcover
rusak2 [61]
D) 47,000

0.60 (<em>x</em>+38,000)= 51,000
(0.60<em>x</em>)+22,800= 51,000
51,000-22,800= 28,200
28,200÷0.60= 47,000
0.06 (47,000+38,000)= 51,000
28,200+22,800= 51,000
