How many significant digits are there in 17.0

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.

Crickets can jump with a vertical velocity of up to 14 ft/s. Which equation models the height of such a jump, in feet, after t s

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Acceleration is simplified by assuming it is the constant -g

a=-g we integrate this with respect to time to get v...

v=-gt+C where C is the initial velocity in this case 14ft/s so

v=-gt+14 integrate again to get the height function

h=(-gt^2)/2 +14t +C we are not given an initial height so C is 0

h(t)=14t-gt^2/2 letting g=32 and neatening up a bit...

h(t)=14t-16t^2

Please help with this question

Alchen [17]

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{32}}$

$\dfrac{T}{2\pi} = \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{32}}$

$L = \dfrac{32 T^2}{4\pi^2} = \dfrac{8T^2}{\pi^2}$

$L = \dfrac{32 (2.2)^2}{4(3.14)^2} =3.927 \textrm{ feet}$

Second choice: 4 feet
