Answer:

b.

all nonzero digits are significant.

Explanation:

Significant digits are total number of digits that are used to define the final results.

So here we have to define as per rules

1) All non zero numbers are significant

2) All zeros between two non zero numbers are significant

3) All trailing zeros in a number without decimal are not significant

4) All zeros in a number which is greater than 1 with decimal are significant

So as per above rules correct answer will be

b.

all nonzero digits are significant.

Which measurement is a potential difference?<br> A.115J<br> B.115V<br> C.115N<br> D.115C
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Potential difference has a SI Unit of Volt and its symbol is <em>V</em>. Hence answer is <u>B</u>.

A is wrong as it has the unit Joule <em>(J)</em> which is the SI unit for energy.

C is wrong as it has the unit Newton <em>(N)</em> which is the SI unit for force.

D is wrong as it has the unit Coulomb <em>(C)</em> which is the SI unit of charge.

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? A water bug on the surface of a pond is producing small ripples in t
noname [10]

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

Imagine you are holding an apple. a. Does this apple have energy? How do you know? b. How could you increase the potential energ
Len [333]
A).  The apple has thermal energy, because its temperature is higher
than absolute zero.
It also has chemical energy, because if I eat it, I get a burst of energy
and I become ambitious for a while.
It also has gravitational potential energy, because if I drop it on my foot,
it could bruise one of my piggies.

b).  I could increase its potential energy by lifting it higher, like over my head.

c).  As long as I'm just holding the apple, it doesn't have any kinetic energy. 
I could give it some kinetic energy by throwing it.
Or I could just drop it, and let gravity give it kinetic energy.

A mass weighing 14 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. The mass is attached to a dashpot device that offers a damping force numeri
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when b^{2} > 0.86

The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when b^{2} = 0.86

The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when b^{2} < 0.86

Explanation:

Using the newton second law

k is the spring constante

b positive damping constant

m mass attached

m\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} = - kx - b\frac{dx}{dt}

x(t) is the displacement from the equilibrium position

\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} +\frac{b}{m}\frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{k}{m}x = 0

Converting units of weights in units of mass (equation of motion)

m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{14}{32} = 0.43 slug

From hook's law we can calculate the spring constant k

k = \frac{W}{s} = \frac{14}{2} = 7 lb/ft

If we put m and k into the DE, we get

\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} +\frac{b}{0.43}\frac{dx}{dt} + 16.28x = 0

Denoting the constants

2λ = \frac{b}{m} = \frac{b}{0.43}

λ = b/0.215

w^{2} = \frac{k}{m} = 16.28

λ^2 - w^2 = \frac{b^{2} }{0.046} - 16.28

This way,

The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when b^{2} > 0.86

The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when b^{2} = 0.86

The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when b^{2} < 0.86
