significant figures are digits read directly from measuring instrument plus one more digit, which is ______ by the observer

Estimated by the observer.

Take a buret, you can read to the 0.1 mL directly from the device, but the amount may lie between the 0.1 marks so you can estimate how far between the marks the fluid lies.

Which statement best describes the force of gravity

Finger [1]

Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects. At Earth's surface the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 metres (32 feet) per second per second.

A 34-m length of wire is stretched horizontally between two vertical posts. The wire carries a current of 68 A and experiences a

il63 [147K]

Answer:

7.28×10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Applying,

F = BILsin∅............. Equation 1

Where F = magnetic force, B = earth's magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = Length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the field and the wire.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsin∅.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 0.16 N, I = 68 A, L = 34 m, ∅ = 72°

Substitute these values into equation 2

B = 0.16/(68×34×sin72°)

B = 0.16/(68×34×0.95)

B = 0.16/2196.4

B = 7.28×10⁻⁵ T

What is the mass, in grams, of a pure iron cube that has a volume of 3.70cm cubed?

Arlecino [84]

To determine the amount in grams of the iron, we need data on the density of iron. From literature, it has a value of p=7.9 g/cm3. We simply multiply the volume to the density. We do as follows:

mass = 3.70 (7.9) = 29.23 g Fe

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A space station has a large ring-like component that rotates to simulategravity for the crew. This ring has a massM= 2.1×105kg a

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Each thruster has to applied a force of 294.5N in tangential direction

Explanation:

Mass of the ring ,M =2.1×105kg

Mass of the ship ,m = 3.5×104kg

Radius of the ring R = 86.0 m

distance of ship from center of the ring, r =31.0 m

Let force applied by each thruster be F

Time taken to reach gravity ,t = 3hrs = 3600× 3 =10800sec

The movement of ring make the object kept at the edge feel a force of centrifuge in outward direction.

Centrifugal force = weight of the object on earth

Assume the ring is moving with angular speed ω

Centripetalforce of the object kept at ring

m₁R ω²=m₁g (m₁=mas of object)

⇒Rω² = g

⇒ω = √g/R

The ring start from 0 angular speed with constant angular acceleration

Let the constant angular acceleration be ∝

∝ = ω / t

(ω = √g/R)

∝ = $\frac{1}{t } \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} } }$

Consider Torque on the ring and ship system

T = FR + FR = 2FR

Moment of inertia of ring ship system

I = I(ring)+I(ship)+I(ship)

= MR² + mr² + mr² = MR² + 2mr²

angular acceleration of the ring ship system

∝ = $\frac{2FR}{MR^2 + 2mr^2}$

Now we have ,

∝ = $\frac{1}{t} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} }$ , ∝ = $\frac{2FR}{MR^2+2mr^2}$

equating both values

We have,

$F = \frac{MR^2+2mr^2}{2Rt} \sqrt{\frac{g}{R} }$

where,

m = 2.1 × 10⁵kg, R = 86m, m = 3.5 × 10₄kg,

r = 31m, g = 9.8m/s² , t = 10800sec

$F = \frac{(2.1 \times 10^5 \times86^2)+(2\times3.5v10^4\times31^2) }{2\times86\times10800} \times\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{86} } \\\\F = 294.47N\\\approx294.5N$

Each thruster has to applied a force of 294.5N in tangential direction
