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.

A car is moving with speed 60 m/s and acceleration 4 m/s2 at a given instant. (a) using a second-degree taylor polynomial, estim

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using second degree taylor polynomials

let $S(t)$ be position function and set $S(0)=0$

where S(0) is the initial position

Then $v(t) = S^i(t)$ and $a(t)=S^{ii}(t)$

we have $v(0) = 60m/s$ , $a(0) = 4m/s^2$

so $T_{2}(t) =S(0)+v(0)t+\frac{a(0)}{2} t^2\\\\\\=0+60t+\frac{4}{2} t^2\\\\T_{2}(t)=60t+2t^2\\\\S(1)=T_{2}(1)=60+2=62m$

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.38 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 2.30 mm. If the separa

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

plate separation = 2.3 x 10⁻³ m

capacity C₁ = ε A / d

= ε A / 2.3 x 10⁻³

C₂ = ε A / 1.15 x 10⁻³

$\frac{C_2}{C_1}$ = $\frac{2.3}{1.15}$

a ) when charge remains constant

energy = $\frac{q^2}{2C}$

q is charge and C is capacity

energy stored initially E₁= $\frac{q^2}{2C_1}$

energy stored finally E₂ = $\frac{q^2}{2C_2}$

$\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{C_2}{C_1}$ = $\frac{2.3}{1.15}$

$E_2$ = $\frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times E_1$

= $\frac{1.15}{2.3 } \times 8.38$

= 4.19 J

b )

In this case potential diff remains constant

energy of capacitor = 1/2 C V²

energy is proportional to capacity as V is constant .

$\frac{E_2}{E_1} = \frac{C_2}{C_1}$

$\frac{E_2}{8.38} = \frac{2.3}{1.15}$

$E_2$ = 16.76 .

17. A 25 kg block is initially at rest on a rough, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 75 N is required to set

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

0.30581

0.24464

Explanation:

$\mu_s$ = Coefficient of static friction

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

$F_f$ = 75 N

$F_k$ = 60 N

Normal force

$F_n=mg\\\Rightarrow F_n=25\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=245.25\ N$

Frictional force

$F_f=\mu_sF_n\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{F_f}{F_n}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{75}{245.25}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=0.30581$

The coefficient of static friction is 0.30581

Kinetic force

$F_k=\mu_kF_n\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\frac{F_k}{F_n}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{60}{245.25}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=0.24464$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24464

The net force experienced by an object is increased. What affect does this have on the acceleration of the object?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.
