Why should your average experimental value actually only be express with a maximum of 2 significant digits?

Physics
1 answer:
Sonja [21]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Maximum two significant digits represents the number at the position 0.01. The experimental values are taken as only two significant digits is because after two digits the value can be neglected as these values are very small as compared to the whole number.

Thus, all the experimental values are represented by two significant digits.

Does time stop in a black hole
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

In standard GR, nothing exists at the center of a black hole. The center of a black hole is a singularity, and because GR fails at that point it is simply removed from the manifold. That means that the singularity is not part of spacetime.

To answer your question more realistically, we believe that GR is an approximate theory that fails well before you reach the center. Unfortunately, we have no good alternative theory with which to answer the question in the region where GR fails. We simply don’t have any data from that regime and it is very hard to formulate a good theory without data. So there very well could be time at the center, but we simply don’t have a good way to even guess.

The function​ s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line. Suppose s (2 )equals 146and s (6 )equals
sineoko [7]

Answer:

v(t) = 27 units

Explanation:

The function s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line such that,

s(2)=146

and

s(6)=254

We need to find the average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6]. The velocity of the object is equal to the total distance divided by time. It is given by :

v(t)=\dfrac{s(6)-s(2)}{6-2}

v(t)=\dfrac{254-146}{6-2}

v(t) = 27 units

So, the  average velocity of the object is 27 units. Hence, this is the required solution.

polet [3.4K]

Answer: 557nm

Explanation:

Visible light has been known to have its wavelengths in the range between 400 to 700 nanometres (nm), or 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 m. This wavelength is between infrared and ultraviolet. Infrared has longer wavelengths and while on the other hand ultraviolet has shorter wavelengths. The wavelength of visible light has a frequency of approximately 430 to 750 terahertz (THz).

tanΦ= 0.0039/4 = 9.75*10^-4

Φ= tan^-1 (9.75*10^-4)

Φ= 0.056

λ= (5.7*10^-4) * sin 0.056

λ= 5.57*10^-7m

λ= 557nm

Choose the best description of the attraction between you and your classmate.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. There is not enough information to answer this question

Explanation:

The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ 3³/(kg·s²)

For an in between distance of 1 m and equal masses of 60 kg, we have;

F = G \times \dfrac{m_{1}  \times m_{2}}{r^{2}} = 6.67408 \times 10^{-11}  \times \dfrac{60 \times 60}{1^{2}}  \approx  2.403 \times 10^{-7} N

The gravitational attraction ≈ 2.403 × 10⁻⁷ N, which does not correspond with the answers, therefore, the best option is that there is not enough information to answer this question.
