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

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

After it was discovered, astronomers predicted Uranus's orbit using Newton's laws of motion and gravity, which had worked extrem
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

A. Check for other previously undiscovered factors that might alter Uranus's orbit while still allowing it to obey Newton's laws of motion and gravity.

Explanation:

Uranus behaved in a way that Newton's laws of motion could not explain. But this law predicted very well the behavior of other planets, so it could not be totally wrong or discarded, so it was decided to look for whether there was a planet beyond Uranus, which would alter its movement. The search was done and this is how <u>Neptune </u>was discovered, and by adding the attraction that Neptune would have on Uranus, its orbit could be calculated correctly by Newton's laws of motion.

Since Newton's law of gravitation had worked so well it was more likely that there were unknown factors that would alter his movement, rather than the laws no longer working or the data being wrong.

Later Newton's law of gravitation was modified by Einstein to take into account the effects of relativity. But Newton's laws work very well to describe the solar system.

The distance travelled by the ball is 43.2 m

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

Here, we want to find the (horizontal) distance travelled by the ball before hitting the ground. Therefore, we can just consider the horizontal motion of the ball.

Since it is a uniform motion, we can write:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

v = 13.5 m/s is the horizontal speed

t = 3.2 s is the time of flight

Solving for d, we find

d=vt=(13.5)(3.2)=43.2 m
