Now to convert the given calories to joule, we use the relationship below:
Since 1Cal gives 4.18Joule of energy
614Cal will produce 4.18 x 614;
2566.52J of energy.
This written as 2.57 x 10³J because it has three significant numbers of 2, 5 and 7.
In writing an operation that involves deducing the significant numbers, we simply express our answer to that shows the lowest number of significant numbers. Our problem has 3 significant numbers each and the answer is given in that regard.
A horizontal line on a speed-time graph represents a constant speed. A sloping line on a speed-time graph represents an acceleration. The sloping line shows that the speed of the object is changing. The object is either speeding up or slowing down.
