A calculator displays a result such as 1,365 248 0 107 kg. The estimated uncertainty in the result is 2%. How many digits should

you include as significant when you write the result? Choose one:
1) zero,
2) one,
3) two,
4) three,
5) four
6) five,
7) the number cannot be determined.

Answer:

4) three

Explanation:

Assuming you mean 1.365248×10⁷, 2% of that is:

0.02 (1.365248×10⁷) = 0.027305×10⁷

So the number is:

1.365248×10⁷ ± 0.027305×10⁷

We need to round this number so that there is uncertainty only in the last digit.

1.37×10⁷ ± 0.03×10⁷

There are three significant figures in 1.37.

A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 360 cm2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the

Softa [21]

Answer:

$Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C$

Explanation:

We are given that a parallel- plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference V and then disconnected from the voltage source.

1 m =100 cm

Surface area =S= $\frac{360}{10000}=0.036 m^2$

$\Delta d=0.8 cm=0.008 m$

$\Delta V=100 V$

We have to find the charge Q on the positive plates of the capacitor.

V=Initial voltage between plates

d=Initial distance between plates

Initial Capacitance of capacitor

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{d}$

Capacitance of capacitor after moving plates

$C_1=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{(d+\Delta d)}$

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$

Potential difference between plates after moving

$V=\frac{Q}{C_1}$

$V+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{C_1}$

$\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}+100=\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0S}$

$\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0 S}-\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}=100$

$\frac{Q\Delta d}{\epsilon_0 S}=100$

$\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$Q=\frac{100\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.036}{0.008}$

$Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C$

Hence, the charge on positive plate of capacitor= $Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C$

Difference between freefall and weightlessness.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Differences between freefall and weightlessness are as follows:

<h3><u>Freefall</u></h3>

When a body falls only under the influence of gravity, it is called free fall.
Freefall is not possible in absence of gravity.
A body falling in a vacuum is an example of free fall.

<h3><u>Weightlessness</u></h3>

Weightlessness is a condition at which the apparent weight of body becomes zero.
Weightlessness is possible in absence of gravity.
A man in a free falling lift is an example of weightlessness.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment....

A device for acclimating military pilots to the high accelerations they must experience consists of a horizontal beam that rotat

Natali [406]

centripetal acceleration is given by formula

$a_c = \omega^2*R$

given that

$a_c = 34.1 m/s^2$

$R = 5.91 m$

now we have

$\omega^2 R = 34.1$

$\omega^2 * 5.91 = 34.1$

$\omega^2 = 5.77$

$\omega = 2.4 rad/s$

so the ratationa frequency is given by

$\omega = 2 \pi f$

$2.4 = 2 \pi f$

$f = \frac{2.4}{2\pi}$

$f = 0.38 Hz$
