Answer :

(a) The speed of light in three significant figures is, 3.00\times 10^1m/s

(b) The speed of light in five significant figures is, 2.9979\times 10^1m/s

(c) The speed of light in seven significant figures is, 2.997924\times 10^1m/s

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

As we are given that the speed of light is:

2.99792458\times 10^1m/s

In the given value, there are 9 significant figures.

(a) Now we have to determine the speed of light in three significant figures.

For three significant figure, we round off the digits and we get:

3.00\times 10^1m/s

(b) Now we have to determine the speed of light in five significant figures.

2.9979\times 10^1m/s

(c) Now we have to determine the speed of light in seven significant figures.

2.997924\times 10^1m/s

Why does the cannon move backward when the cannon ball is shot?
seropon [69]

Answer:

This came to mind

Explanation:

when a cannon fires (in real life or in the movies) have noticed that the cannon recoils, sliding backwards after the explosion. Again, a non-zero net force on the cannon changes its momentum.

A coaxial cable consists of an inner conductor with radius ri = 0.20 cm and an outer radius of ro = 0.4 cm and has a length of 1
N76 [4]

Answer:

R = 1.69*10^{11} ohm

Explanation:

ri = 0.20cm

ro = 0.4 cm

length L = 13m

resistivity \rho = 2.00*10^13 ohm m

resistance can be determine by using following relation

R = \frac{\rho}{2\pi L} ln\frac{ro}{ri}

R = \frac{2.00*10^{13}}{2\pi *10} ln\frac{.004}{.002}

R = 1.69*10^{11} ohm

At an outdoor market, a bunch of bananas attached to the bottom of a vertical spring of force constant 16.0 N/m is set into osci
aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

4.53 kg

Explanation:

spring constant, K = 16 N/m

Amplitude, A = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Maximum speed, v = 37.6 cm/s = 0.376 m/s

The formula for maximum speed is given by

v = ωA

where, ω is the angular frequency

0.376 = ω x 0.2

ω = 1.88 rad/s

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

m = \frac{K}{\omega ^{2}}

m = \frac{16}{1.88 ^{2}}

m = 4.53 kg

Thus, the mass of banana bunch is 4.53 kg.

A mass moves back and forth in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A and period T.
Sever21 [200]

a. 0.5 T

- The amplitude A of a simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement of the system with respect to the equilibrium position

- The period T is the time the system takes to complete one oscillation

During a full time period T, the mass on the spring oscillates back and forth, returning to its original position. This means that the total distance covered by the mass during a period T is 4 times the amplitude (4A), because the amplitude is just half the distance between the maximum and the minimum position, and during a time period the mass goes from the maximum to the minimum, and then back to the maximum.

So, the time t that the mass takes to move through a distance of 2 A can be found by using the proportion

1 T : 4 A = t : 2 A

and solving for t we find

t=\frac{(1T)(2 A)}{4A}=0.5 T

b. 1.25T

Now we want to know the time t that the mass takes to move through a total distance of 5 A. SInce we know that

- the mass takes a time of 1 T to cover a distance of 4A

we can set the following proportion:

1 T : 4 A = t : 5 A

And by solving for t, we find

t=\frac{(1T)(5 A)}{4A}=\frac{5}{4} T=1.25 T
