What is the purpose of using significant figures? How does it relate to accuracy, precision, resolution, and uncertainty?

Physics

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

#see solution for details

Explanation:

-Uncertainty refers to an estimate of the amount by which a result may differ from this value,

-Precision refers to how closely repeated measurements agree with each other.

-Accuracy refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.

-The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring. Therefore, choosing the correct number of significant figures reduces the deviation from the point of accuracy/uncertainty or precision and thereby reducing margin of error in the ensuing calculations.

svlad2 [7]

If current is passed through two parallel conductors in the same direction and the conductors are placed near each other, they will​ attract each other.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current can be defined as the flow of electrons.

Since electrons are easily removed from atom and are very mobile, the flow of electrons constitute an electric current.

Materials which allow electric current to flow through them are known as conductors. Examples of conductors are metals, and electrolytes.

On the other hand, materials which do not allow electric current to pass through them are known as insulators. Examples of insulators are wood and rubber.

The flow of current is known as electricity.

Parallel conductors with current flowing through them in the same direction are attracted to each other as a result of a magnetic field produced by the flow of current.

In conclusion, conductors allow electric current to pass through and the flow of current through a conductor produces a magnetic field.

Which is an IUPAC name for a covalent compound
Elena L [17]
In naming covalent compound (binary) based in IUPAC naming, we have 4 rules to be followed:

1. The first element of the formula will use the normal name of the given element. for example: CO2 ( Carbon Dioxide), Carbon is the element name of the first element of the formula.

2. The second element is named as if they are treated like an anion but put in mind that these are no ions in a covalent compound but we put -ide on the second element as if it is an anion.

3. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atom of the elements in the compound. for example: mono- 1 atom, di- 2atoms, tri- 3 atoms and etc

4. Prefix "mono"is never used in naming the first element. For example: Carbon dioxide, there should be no monocarbon dioxide.

Three-fourths of the area of a rectangular lawn 30 feet wide by 40 feet long is to be enclosed by a rectangular fence. If the en
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The fence is 5feet less.

Explanation:

We need to determine

The less amount of fence required, if the enclosure has full width and reduced length, compared to full length and reduced width.

Approach & WorkingArea of lawn = 30 × 403/4th of the area of lawn = ¾(30 × 40) = 30 * 30

 When full width will be fenced, and reduced length will be fenced.

Width = 30 feet30 * L = 30 * 30Hence, length = 30 feetLength of fence needed = 2(30 + 30) = 120 feet

When full length will be fenced, and reduced width will be fenced

Length = 40 feet40 * W = 30 * 30W = 22.5 feetLength of fence needed = 2(40 + 22.5) = 125 feet

Difference in length of fence needed = 125 – 120 = 5 feet.
