The 2 spots after the decimal still counts toward the total  the figures 
Andreyy893 years ago
3 0

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 river flows due south with a speed of 2.0 m/s. You steer a motorboat across the river; your velocity relative to the water is
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

a) 25.5°(south of east)

b) 119 s

c) 238 m

Explanation:

solution:

we have river speed v_{r}=2 m/s

velocity of motorboat relative to water is v_{m/r}=4.2 m/s

so speed will be:

a) v_{m}=v_{r}+v_{m/r}

solving graphically

v_{m}=\sqrt{v^2_{r}+v^2_{m/r}}

     =4.7 m/s

Ф=tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{r}}{v_{m/r}} )

  =25.5°(south of east)

b) time to cross the river: t=\frac{w}{v_{m/r}}=\frac{500}{4.2}=119 s

c) d=v_{r}t=(2)(119)=238 m

Suppose you average 75 MPH over the first halfof a drive, and your average speed for the entiredrive is 60 MPH. What was your av
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

x = 45 MPH

Explanation:

given,

Average speed of the first half = 75 MPH

Average speed of entire ride = 60 MPH

Average speed of the second half = ?

let the average speed of the second half = x MPH

now,

average of entire ride is given as 60 mph so,

 \dfrac{75+x}{2} = 60

 75+x= 2\times 60

       75 + x = 120

         x = 120 -75

        x = 45 MPH

hence, the average speed of the second half comes out to be 45 MPH.
