Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458  x  10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

If you were capable of converting mass to energy with 100%, efficiency, how much mass would you need to produce 3.5x10^12 Joules
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg

Explanation:

The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:

E = mc^2\\\\m = \frac{E}{c^2}

where,

m = mass required = ?

E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

m = \frac{3.5\ x\ 10^{12}\ J}{(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2} \\\\m = 3.9\ x\ 10^{-5}\ kg

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg</u>

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.
