Explain why significant figures represent the precision of a measurement and not its accuracy

1 answer:

3 0

Firstly, when we say precision, this means the level of detail of a number. On the other hand, significance means that how precise a number is written and accuracy is defined as how close the number is to an actual value. Significant figures represent the precision of a measurement and not its accuracy because when a measurement has a larger number of significant figures, it has a greater reproducibility <span>or precision because it has a smaller source of error in the estimated digit. Hope this answer helps.</span>

This time particle A starts from rest and accelerates to the right at 65.5 cm/s

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

t = 4 s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration

So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(65.5)t^2$

$d_1 = 32.75 t^2 cm$

Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance

$d_2 = 44 \times t$

now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track

so if A and B will meet after time "t"

then in that case

$d_1 = 349 + d_2$

$32.75 t^2 = 349 + 44 t$

on solving above kinematics equation we have

$t = 4 s$

The velocity of sound on a particular day outside is 331 meters/second. What is the frequency of a tone if it has a wavelength o

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Explanation:
the equation that relates velocity, frequency and wavelength is:
velocity = frequency * wavelength

We are given that:
velocity = 331 m/sec
wavelength = 0.6 m

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the frequency as follows:
velocity = frequency * wavelength
331 = frequency * 0.6
frequency = 331 / 0.6
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Hope this helps :)
