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.

A rigid tank contains air at a pressure of 70 psia and a temperature of 55 ˚F. By how much will the pressure increase as the tem
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

P_2 = 62.69 psi

Explanation:

given,

P₁ = 70 psia               T₁ = 55° F    = (55 + 459.67) R

P₂ = ?                         T₂ = 115° F    = (115 + 459.67) R

we know,

p = ρ RT

ρ is the density which is constant

R is also constant

now,

\dfrac{P_2}{P_1} =\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}

\dfrac{P_2}{70} =\dfrac{55+459.67}{115+459.67}

    P_2 = 62.69 psi

Hence, the increase in Pressure is equal to P_2 = 62.69 psi

A seafloor plate slides under a continental plate during subduction. which type of plate boundary best describes this situation
Leto [7]

Answer:

The situation where a seafloor plate slides under a continental plate during subduction is best described by convergent plate boundary.

Explanation:

The earth’s crust is broken down into tectonic plates that can move independently. They can interact in three different ways: converge (move toward one another), diverge (move away from one another) or transform (slide past one another). The three kinds of plate margins (boundaries where plates meet) are oceanic-oceanic, continental-continental, and continental-oceanic.

The regions where the plates are moving towards one another are known as convergent plate boundaries. During the convergence of continental and oceanic plates, the more-dense oceanic plate sinks below the less-dense continental plate and the oceanic plate is forced down further into the mantle. This is known as subduction. When the plate enters the mantle, the inside pressure breaks the rock. The broken rocks begins to melt from the heat due to the friction and as a result magma is formed. This magma rises toward the surface by breaking through the crust and forms a chain of volcanoes known as a volcanic arc such as the Cascade Mountains of North America and the Andes Mountains of South America.

During the convergence of two oceanic plates, one of the plates sinks underneath the other and forms an ocean trench (deep depression). The plate that sinks further down into the mantle starts to melt and as a result magma rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands behind the ocean trench.

During the convergence of two continental plates, they buckle and compress to form complex mountains ranges of great height such as the Himalayas.

A piece of cork (density 250 kg/m3 ) of mass 0.01 kg is held in place under water (density 1000 kg/m3 ) by a string. What is the
vekshin1

Answer:

0.3 N

Explanation:

mass of cork = 0.01 kg, density of cork = 250 kg/m^3

density of water = 1000 kg/m^3, g = 10 m/s^2

Tension in the rope = Buoyant force acting on the cork - Weight of the cork

Buoyant force = volume of cork x density of water x g

                        = mass x density of water x g / density of cork

                       = 0.01 x 1000 x 10 / 250 = 0.4 N

Weight of cork = mass of cork x g = 0.01 x 10 = 0.1 N

Thus, the tension in the rope = 0.4 - 0.1 = 0.3 N

Butter melts when you heat it on a pan on the stove.is this a chemical changes or physical changes?
Stells [14]

Answer:

No chemical bonds are broken or formed in melting butter, so it is not a chemical change. The melting process is only a physical change, the change of state from solid to liquid.
