Perform the following calculations and give your answer with the correct number of significant figures

Physics
1 answer:
love history [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

a. 0.1886 x 12 =2.2632

This has 2 sig figures so the answer can only have 2 sig figures

2.3

b. 2.995 - 0.16685 =2.82815

The most accurate in the problem is to thousands place so our answer can only be accurate to the thousands place

2.828

c. 910 x 0.18945=172.3995

The  least number of significant figures is 3 so the answer can only have 3 significant figures

172

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of an automobile weighing 2135 lb and traveling at 55 mph. (1 mile = 1.6093 km, 1 lb = 45
victus00 [196]
<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s: speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds) speed = 24.59 m/s Let's convert the mass to kilograms: mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb) mass = 968.4 kg We can find the kinetic energy KE: KE = (1/2) m v^2 KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2 KE = 292780 joules The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac
tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.

A bag of ice cubes absorbs 149,000 J of heat, which causes its temperature to increase by 5.23 degrees celsius. what is the mass
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

14.3kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Quantity of heat = 149000J

Change in temperature = 5.23°C

specific heat of the ice = 2000J/kg°C

Unknown:

Mass of the ice in the bag = ?

Solution:

The heat capacity of a substance is given as:

            H = m c Ф

H is the heat capacity

m is the mass

c is the specific heat

Ф is the temperature change;

  since m is the unknown, we make it the subject of the expression;

                    m = H/ mФ

                  m = \frac{149000}{2000 x 5.23}  = 14.3kg

The grounded conductor and the grounding conductor are one and the same conductor and perform the same function.
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Grounded  used to carry the current in the normal conditions. while on the other side grounding is refer to that safety wire that is connected to the earth and currently does not transmit through it.

As grounding wire is referred to as safety wire hence it carries current only in an emergency like a short circuit.

Explanation:

A grounded conductor is referred to as one of the wire that needed in an electric circuit. it is basically a neutral conductor.  It used to carry the current in the normal conditions. while on the other side grounding is refer to that safety wire that is connected to the earth and currently does not transmit through it.

As grounding wire is referred to as safety wire hence it carries current only in an emergency like a short circuit.
