Answer : The significant digit is 6

Explanation :

Multiply $5.036\times10^{2}m$ by $0.078\times10^{-1}m$

Now, on multiplying

$5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.392808 \times10^{1}\ m^{2}$

$5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.0392808\ m^{2}$

Now, the significant digit is 6.

Hence, this is the required solution.

car rides on four wheels that are connected to the body of the car by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down ove

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

78.4 KN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass of person 'm' =80 kg

car dips about i.e spring stretched 'x'= 1 cm => 0.01m

acceleration due to gravity 'g'= 9.8 m/s^2

as we know that,in order to find approximate spring constant we use Hooke's Law i.e F=kx

where,

F = the force needed

x= distance the spring is stretched or compressed beyond its natural length

k= constant of proportionality called the spring constant.

F=kx ---> (since f=mg)

mg=kx

k=(mg)/x

k=(80 x 9.8)/ 0.01

k=78.4x $10^3$

k=78.4 KN/m

In the physics lab, a block of mass M slides down a frictionless incline from a height of 35cm. At the bottom of the incline it

bogdanovich [222]

Solution :

Given :

M = 0.35 kg

$m=\frac{M}{2}=0.175 \ kg$

Total mechanical energy = constant

or $K.E._{top}+P.E._{top} = K.E._{bottom}+P.E._{bottom}$

But $K.E._{top} = 0$ and $P.E._{bottom} = 0$

Therefore, potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom

$\Rightarrow mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$=\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.35}$ (h = 35 cm = 0.35 m)

= 2.62 m/s

It is the velocity of M just before collision of 'm' at the bottom.

We know that in elastic collision velocity after collision is given by :

$v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}v_1+ \frac{2m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

here, $m_1=M, m_2 = m, v_1 = 2.62 m/s, v_2 = 0$

∴ $$v_1=\frac{0.35-0.175}{0.5250}+\frac{2 \times 0.175 \times 0}{0.525}$

$=\frac{0.175}{0.525}+0$

= 0.33 m/s

Therefore, velocity after the collision of mass M = 0.33 m/s

This is a measure of force per unit area.

Vlad1618 [11]

<h2>Answer: Pressure</h2>

<u>Pressure</u> is the force $F$ exerted by a gas, a liquid or a solid on a surface (or area) $A$ .

Its unit according to the International System of Units is Pascal $Pa$ which is equal to $N/m^{2}$ and its formula is:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

A potential energy function is given by u(x)=(3.00n)xâ(1.00n/m2)x3. at what position or positions is the force equal to zero?

qwelly [4]

I believe the correct form of the energy function is:

u (x) = (3.00 N) x + (1.00 N / m^2) x^3

or in simpler terms without the units:

u (x) = 3 x + x^3

Since the highest degree is power of 3, therefore there are two roots or solutions of the equation.

Since we are to find for the positions x in which the force equal to zero, u (x) = 0, therefore:

3 x + x^3 = u (x)

3 x + x^3 = 0

Taking out x:

x (3 + x^2) = 0

So one of the factors is x = 0.

Finding for the other two factors, we divide the two sides by x and giving us:

x^2 + 3 = 0

x^2 = - 3

x = sqrt (- 3)

x = - 1.732 i, 1.732 i

The other two roots are imaginary therefore the force is only equal to zero when the position is also zero.

Answer:

x = 0
