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

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.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Do neither of these things ( c )

Explanation:

For length contraction : Is calculated considering the observer moving at a speed that is relative the object at rest applying this formula

L = (l) \sqrt{1 -\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

where l = Measured distance from object at rest, L =  contracted measured in relation to the observer , v = speed of clock , c = speed of light

you will do neither of these things because before you can make such decisions who have to view the object in this case yourself from a different frame from where you are currently are, if not your length and width will not change hence you can't make such conclusions/decisions .

A 0.03 kg golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of 34 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 0.003 s. What is the
Liula [17]

Answer:

The average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 0.03 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 34 m/s

Time of contact, \Delta t=0.003\ s

We need to find the average force on ball by the golf club. We know that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the net external force applied such that :

F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv-mu}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.03\ kg\times 34\ m/s}{0.003\ s}\\\\F=340\ N

So, the average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

For any molecule, formula unit, or ion, the sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in a formula is the.
alukav5142 [94]

The mass of a substance is given in atomic mass units and is calculated by adding the average atomic masses of all the atoms in the substance's chemical formula.

<h3>What empirical formula represents the total average atomic mass of every atom?</h3>

The Method The average atomic masses of all the atoms included in a formula's representation are added to get the mass of any molecule, formula unit, or ion. It has no bearing on the number of significant figures because the number of atoms is an exact quantity. One H2O molecule weighs 18.02 amu on average.

<h3>What connection exists between the empirical formula and the molecular formula?</h3>

You can determine the number of atoms of each element in a molecule using its molecular formula. These empirical formulations provide the most basic or reduced elemental ratio of a compound. The empirical formula and the molecular formula of a substance are same if the molecular formula can no longer be decreased.
