Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg

An ordinary ruler is used to measure the area and its error of a rectangle. It is found that their sides are 5.0 cm long and 2.0
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

You need to know the accuracy to which you can read the ruler:

Suppose that you can read the read the ruler to the nearest milimeter

A = L * W     your calculated area of the rectangle

A + ΔA = (L + ΔL) * (W + ΔW) = L W + L ΔW + W * ΔL + ΔL ΔA

Or ΔA =  L ΔW + W ΔL

Where we have subtracted A = L * W and the term ΔL * ΔA is very small

So (5 + .1) * (2 + .1) - 5 * 2 = .1 * 2 + .1 * 5 = .7 cm^2

Then you report A = 10 cm^2 +- .7 cm^2    including the - sign for completeness

In order to rendezvous with an asteroid passing close to the earth, a spacecraft must be moving at 8.50×103m/s relative to the e
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v₀ = 13.9 10³ m / s

Explanation:

Let's analyze this exercise we can use the basic kinematics relationships to love the initial velocity and the acceleration we can look for from Newton's second law where force is gravitational attraction.

    F = m a

    G m M / x² = m dv / dt = m dv/dx  dx/dt

    G M / x² = dv/dx   v

    GM dx / x² = v dv

We integrate

    v² / 2 = GM (-1 / x)

We evaluate between the lower limits where x = Re = 6.37 10⁶m  and the velocity v = vo and the upper limit x = 2.50 10⁸m  with a velocity of v = 8.50 10³ m/s

    ½ ((8.5 10³)² - v₀²) = GM (-1 /(2.50 10⁸) + 1 / (6.37 10⁶))

    72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = 2 G M (+0.4 10⁻⁸ - 1.57 10⁻⁷)

    72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = 2 6.63 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ (-15.3  10⁻⁸)

    72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = -1.213  10⁸

    v₀² = 72.25 10⁶ + 1,213 10⁸

    v₀² = 193.6 10⁶

    v₀ = 13.9 10³ m / s

PROBLEMA DI FISICA:il volume di un attizzatoio da camino in ferro, a temperatura ambiente (20°C), è 12,2 cm cubi. A contatto con
lesantik [10]

Responder:

20.3 ° C

Explicación:

<u>Según la ley de Charles</u>: <em>cuando la presión sobre una muestra de gas seco se mantiene constante, la temperatura y el volumen estarán en proporción directa. </em>

Paso uno:

datos dados

Temperatura T1 = 20 ° C

Temperatura T2 =?

Volumen V1 = 12.2 cm ^ 3

Volumen V2 = 12.4 cm ^ 3

Aplicar la relación temperatura y volumen

\frac {V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac {V_{2}}{T_{2}}

sustituyendo tenemos

\frac {12.2}{20}=\frac {12.4}{T_{2}}\\\\

Cruz multiplicar tenemos

T_2=\frac{20*12.4}{12.2} \\\\T_2=\frac{248}{12.2}\\\\T_2=20.3

A regular polygon has angkes of size 150° each.how many side has the polygon​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

ıf each interior is 150 degrees, then each exterior angle is 180–150 or 30 degrees. Hence the polygon has 360/30 = 12 sides

Two wheel gears are connected by a chain. The larger gear has a radius of 8 centimeters and the smaller gear has a radius of 3 c
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.

Explanation:

As we know that the small gear completes 24 revolutions in 20 seconds

so the angular speed of the smaller gear is given as

\omega = 2\pi\frac{24}{20}

\omega = 2.4\pi rad/s

Now we know that the tangential speed of the chain is given as

v = r \omega

so we have

v = (3 cm)(2.4\pi)

v = 7.2 \pi cm/s

v = 432\pi cm/min

Since both gears are connected by same chain so both have same linear speed and hence correct answer will be

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.
