Using the rules for significant figures, what do you get when you subtract 15.54 from 508.9538?

1 answer:

4 0

According to the rules for significant figures, simple decimal subtraction is done. But since 15.54 is only accurate to the hundredths place, then the resulting difference should also be rounded off to the nearest hundredths. This is shown below:

508.9538 - 15.54 = 493.4138

Rounding off to the nearest hundredths:

= 493.41

Answer:

The average speed would be 279.167 meters per second.

Explanation:

Speed is the magnitude that expresses the variation in position of an object and as a function of time. In other words, speed is defined as the relationship established between the distance traveled and the time elapsed in the movement of a mobile.

Speed can be calculated using the following expression:

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

In this case:

distance= 7,035 km
time= 7 hours

Since the required unit of speed is meter per second, then you convert from km to meters for the case of distance, and from hours to seconds for the case of time. So:

distance= 7,035 km= 7,035,000 m (being 1 km= 1,000 m)
time= 7 hours= 420 minutes= 25,200 seconds (being 1 hour=60 minutes and 1 minute=60 seconds)

Replacing in the definition of speed:

$Speed=\frac{7,035,000 meters}{25,200 seconds}$

Solving:

$Speed=279.167\frac{meters}{ seconds}$

Then, the average speed would be 279.167 meters per second.

Answer:

$w=19.76 \ rad/s$

Explanation:

Circular Motion

Suppose there is an object describing a circle of radius r around a fixed point. If the relation between the angle of rotation by the time taken is constant, then the angular speed is also constant. If that relation increases or decreases at a constant rate, the angular speed is given by:

$w=w_o+\alpha \ t$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration and t is the time. If the object was instantly released from the circular path, it would have a tangent speed of:

$\displaystyle v_t=w.r$

We have two reels: one loaded with the tape to play and the other one empty and starting to fill with tape. They both rotate at different angular speeds, one is increasing and the other is decreasing as the tape goes from one to the other. We'll assume the tangent speed is constant for both (so the tape can play correctly). Let's call $w_1$ the angular speed of the loaded reel and $w_2$ that from the empty reel. We have
