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 roller coaster has a mass of 450 kgIt sits at the top of a hill with height 49 m. If it drops from this hill, how fast is it g
fgiga [73]

The speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

<h3>Speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as follows;

K.E(bottom) = P.E(top)

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • v is the speed of the coater at bottom hill
  • h is the height of the hill
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 49)

v = 31 m/s

Thus, the speed of the roller coater at the bottom of the hill is 31 m/s.

Which phenomenon generates electric current?
grigory [225]
The one that does that is the photoelectric effect.  This allows the sun to hit the surface and produces enough energy for electrons to be knocked off the atom and allows a current to move.

What velocity must a 1210 kg car have in order to have the same momentum as a pickup truck
Mariulka [41]

Answer: 46.5 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass(m) × velocity (v)

momentum of car = momentum of truck

1210 × v = 2250 × 25

v = 46.5 m/s

dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.
