Explanation:
Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width
For statement A;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²
The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)
For statement B;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²
Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)
Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
Answer:
2 m/s²
Explanation:
If changes speed by 2 meters per second each second means:
2 m/s²
Because it changes constantly it veloctity.
Remember the aceleration changes the velocity.
Answer: Object B
Explanation: Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. It implies that more massive objects accelerates at a slower rate.
Answer:
(a) v = 5.42m/s
(b) vo = 4.64m/s
(c) a = 2874.28m/s^2
(d) Δy = 5.11*10^-3m
Explanation:
(a) The velocity of the ball before it hits the floor is given by:
(1)
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
h: height where the ball falls down = 1.50m
The speed of the ball is 5.42m/s
(b) To calculate the velocity of the ball, after it leaves the floor, you use the information of the maximum height reached by the ball after it leaves the floor.
You use the following formula:
(2)
vo: velocity of the ball where it starts its motion upward
You solve for vo and replace the values of the parameters:
The velocity of the ball is 4.64m/s
(c) The acceleration is given by:
The acceleration of the ball is 2874.28/s^2
(d) The compression of the ball is:
THe compression of the ball when it strikes the floor is 5.11*10^-3m
