The 2 spots after the decimal still counts toward the total  the figures

thought it was 5 at first too. the 00 past the decimal at significant because it's expressing it is exactly to that point. sort of confusing.
say you measured a pencil with a ruler, and say it was 5" long roughly. you can only scientifically put down that the pencil is 5 inches not 5.0000 because your ruler doesn't go that many decimal places. when something is absolute is the only time you can add .0000000000000000000000 to it and it still be correct. an example of something that is absolute is like you have 10 fingers, 10 is absolute because it's exact 10.0000000000000000=10 fingers it's not any more and not any less.
Those two zeros are included after the decimal so they aqre significant. The rule is all final zeros after the decimal are significant
Since there is a decimal point present, start with the leftmost nonzero didgit. Count that digit and every other digit to the right of it.

A jetliner rolls down the runway with constant acceleration from rest, it reaches its take off speed of 250 km/h in 1 min. What
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=14970.05\ km/h^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initially, the jetliner is at rest, u = 0

Final speed of the jetliner, v = 250 km/h

Time taken, t = 1 min = 0.0167 h

We need to find the acceleration of the jetliner. The mathematical expression for the acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{250}{0.0167}

a=14970.05\ km/h^2

So, the acceleration of the jetliner is 14970.05\ km/h^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Q14) When you break a bar magnet in half, how many poles does each piece have?
andrew-mc [135]
Each piece of magnet has only two poles, one north and one south. So if you break a bar magnet into two halves, the piece initially consisting the north pole at the edge automatically creates the south pole at the break point and the part consisting south pole creates North pole at the edge. So each piece has 2 poles.

From the top of a cliff, a person uses a slingshot to fire a pebble straight downward, which is the negative direction. The init
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

a) the acceleration is -9.8 m/s^2 (gravity's acceleration), the magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2 and the direction is downwards.

The pebble is not decelerating since the magnitude of it's speed is increasing, even if it is on a negative direction.

b) after 0.5 s the pebble is 5.725 meters down. (or -5.725m from it's initial position.)

Explanation:

a) the acceleration is given only by gravity, it's the only force acting on the pebble, the slingshot only gives the pebble an initial speed.

b) To calculate the position we use the equation

y0 + v0·t + ½·g·t² = yf

replacing:

0 + (-9.0m/s) * 0.5s + 1/2 (-9.8)*0.5² = yf

-5.725 = yf
