948 or 9.48 x 10^2
There are two sets of rules for significant figures
• One set for addition and subtraction
• Another set for multiplication and division
You used the set for multiplication and division.
This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is
The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.
Thus, we have
78.9
+890.43
-21.
= 948.33
The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.
To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.
The answer is true. According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy tends to become more spread out
Answer:
The ratio between protons to electrons is not 1:1
Explanation:
A normal atom will be neutral in charge having 1 electron for each atom. An Atom that gains or looses an electron loses that perfect ratio. It is positive is electrons are loss and negative if electrons are gained.
28 degrees below freezing would be 4 degrees
