The metal's ability to conduct heat and become an evenly heated surface relatively quickly makes it useful for ironing. An uneven heat distribution is more likely to produce hot and cold patches, resulting in burnt clothes. Moreover, if the metal didn't conduct electricity well, the heating element would have to use more energy to produce the same amount of heat in the iron.

How many significant figures should be written in the sum 4.65g +9.032g+580.0078+540.439g?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 1.13 X 10^3 g or 1130 g

Explanation: When you add up everything, you will get 1134.1288 g = 1.11341218 X 10^3. But while adding significant figures, we always look for the least significant figures (here 4.65 has least sig. figures  i.e. 3) and take that as a reference to how many significant figures we should have in the answer. (Pretty hard to explain!) Hope you got it!!

A crane exerts a net force of 900 N upward on a 750-kilogram car as the crane starts to lift the car from the deck of a cargo sh
melisa1 [442]

Answer: 1.2m/s^2

Explanation: the force exerted on the car is 900N upwards

The mass of the car is 750kg

According to Newton's third law acceleration is proportional to force

F = ma

900 = 750a

a = 900/750

a = 1.2m/s^2

Two parakeets sit on a swing with their combined center of mass 10.0 cm below the pivot. At what frequency do they swing?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

1.58 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given by

f = 1/T

 = 1/2π√g/l  

In this problem, I = 10.0 cm = 0.1 m  

f = 1/2π√9.8/0.1

=  1.58 Hz
