Answer:

The answer is 631.157

Explanation:

The question requested that the answer to the subtraction of 26.543 from 657.70 must be written using significant figures.

Here are a few tips about how to Identify significant figures.

1) It should be noted that the number "0" is what is usually (but not always) affected while trying to identify significant figures. Hence, all other numbers/digits are always significant. For example, 26.543 has five significant figures.

2) The zeros found between these "other numbers/digits" are also significant. For example, 2202 has four significant figures.

3) In the case of a decimal, the tailing zeros or the final zero is also significant. 657.70 and 657.07 have five significant figures.

Now, back to the question

657.70 - 26.543 = 631.157.

Our final answer does not have a zero, hence all the digits (six) are significant.

Ocean currents near the equator are primarily: eastward westward north and south clockwise

sladkih [1.3K]

Equatorial currents are primarily westward. This is because the dominant current in the northern hemisphere has a clockwise direction, while the southern hemisphere has a counterclockwise direction. When these two currents meet at the equator, a common westward current exists.

Answer:

A) d_o = 20.7 cm

B) h_i = 1.014 m

Explanation:

A) To solve this, we will use the lens equation formula;

1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i

Where;

f is focal Length = 20 cm = 0.2

d_o is object distance

d_i is image distance = 6m

1/0.2 = 1/d_o + 1/6

1/d_o = 1/0.2 - 1/6

1/d_o = 4.8333

d_o = 1/4.8333

d_o = 0.207 m

d_o = 20.7 cm

B) to solve this, we will use the magnification equation;

M = h_i/h_o = d_i/d_o

Where;

h_o = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

d_i = 6 m

d_o = 20.7 cm = 0.207 m

Thus;

h_i = (6/0.207) × 0.035

h_i = 1.014 m
