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.

An observer on Earth sees rocket 1 leave Earth and travel toward Planet X at 0.3c. The observer on Earth also sees that Planet X

Verizon [17]

Answer:

0.625 c

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :

$u' = \frac{0.4 c- (-0.3 c)}{1-\frac{(0.4 c)(-0.3 c)}{c^2}}$

$u' = \frac{0.7 c}{1.12}$

$u'=0.625 c$

Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c

On a Saturday afternoon, you decide to pay a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn. The kid usesa manual push lawn mower with a mass

Mars2501 [29]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A.Mass,m=12 kg

$\theta=53^{\circ}$

$\mu_k=0.16$

Speed,v=1.5m/s

Net force in x direction must be zero

$F_{net}=0$

$Fsin\theta-f=0$

$Fsin\theta=f$

Net force in y direction

$N-mg-Fcos\theta=0$

$N=mg+Fcos\theta$

$f=\mu_kN=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)$

$Fsin\theta=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)$

$Fsin\theta=\mu_kmg+\mu_kFcos\theta$

$Fsin\theta-\mu_kFcos\theta=\mu_kmg$

$F(sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta)=\mu_kmg$

$F=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}$

Power,P=Fv

$P=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}v$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

B.Substitute the values

$P=\frac{0.16\times 12\times 9.8}{sin53-0.16cos53}\times 1.5$

$P=40.17W$

A golf club with 65J of kinetic energy strikes a stationary golf ball with a mass of 46g. The energy transfer is only 20% effici

umka21 [38]

Kinetic energy of golf club = 65J,
kinetic energy supplied to golf ball = 20% of 65 = 0.2 * 65 = 13J,
kinetic energy of ball = [mass * Velocity²]/2,
mass = 46gm = 0.046Kg,
[0.046 * V²]/2 = 13, or 0.046 *V² = 26,
V² = 26/0.046 = 565.22,
V = 23.77 m/sec = initial velocity of golf ball after hitting.
