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 <u>the number "0" is what is usually (but not always) affected</u> while trying to identify significant figures. Hence, <u>all other numbers/digits are always significant</u>. 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.

What distance does light travel in water, glass, and diamond during the time that it travels 1.0 m in vacuum? the refractive ind

alexdok [17]

We are given with
distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m
refractive index of water = 1.33
refractive index of glass = 1.50
refractive index of diamond = 2.42

distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m

A small boat sailed straight north out of a harbor in strong east wind (blowing from west to east). After sailing for 120 minute

Amiraneli [1.4K]

it can be said that the speed of the east wind is

v=0.3608m/s

From the question we are told

A small boat sailed <u>straight </u>north out of a harbor in <em>strong </em>east wind (blowing from west to east).

After sailing for 120 minutes, it ended up hitting a buoy 60^\circ60 ∘ to the north-east of the harbor. If the straight-line distance between the buoy and the harbor is 3 km,

what is the speed of the east wind?.

<h3> the speed of the east wind</h3>

Generally the equation for the distance is mathematically given as

BA=3000sin60

BA=2598.07m

Therefore

the speed of the east wind

$V_w=\frac{BA}{120*60}\\\\V_w=\frac{2598.07}{120*60}$

v=0.3608

Who is responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye

alexandr1967 [171]

The cornea is responsible of refraction light 1/3 in eye.

<h3>What is the function of the cornea?</h3>

In addition to the protective function, it plays a fundamental role in the formation of vision. Transparent, it works like a lens over the iris, focusing light from the pupil towards the retina.

Normally, the cornea and lens deflect (refract) incoming light rays, focusing them on the retina. The shape of the cornea is fixed, but the lens changes shape to focus on objects at different distances from the eye.
