Why does the number 54,289.00 have seven significant figures and not five?

Physics
2 answers:
zimovet [89]3 years ago

The two zeros after the decimal point indicate that the number is accurate to one in a hundred.
If there were 5 significant digits the true value would lie between 54288.5 and 54289.5 but the above representation tells you that is cannot be more than 54289.1, for example.

In fact, the true value lies between 54288.995 and 54289.005

In physics, the use of force to move an object is called what
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: work

Explanation:

Often in physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. Technically, work is actually a change in energy caused by a force external to the system. The formula for work is W = F⊥d or W = FdcosΘ. Using this formula, we can see that work is just when a force is applied for a certain displacement. In simpler terms, that's just a force used to move an object a certain distance.

A radio signal takes 1.28 s to travel from a transmitter on the Moon to the surface of Earth. The radio waves travel at 3.00108
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The distance traveled by an object, while in uniform motion, is given by the following equation:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered

v = speed

t = time interval

In this case:

s = distance between Moon and Earth = ?

v = speed of radio waves = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = time taken to travel = 1.28 s

Therefore,

s = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)(1.28 s)

<u>s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m</u>

1. If two objects collide and one is initially at rest, is it possible for both to be at rest after the collision? Is it possibl
NeX [460]

Answer:

(a)If two objects collide and one is initially at rest, is it possible for both to be at rest after the collision?

No. Because if you have initial momentum P⃗ ≠0 , if both of the objects were at rest after the collision the total momentum of the system would be P⃗ =0 , which violates conservation of momentum

(b)Is it possible for only one to be at rest after the collision?

Yes, that is perfectly possible. It characteristically, happens when both objects are of the same mass. When two objects of the same mass collide and Kinetic energy is conserved (Perfectly Elastic collision) then the two objects interchange velocities.

ad for the distance from the sun tothe earth is 1.5 x 10"m. how long does it take for light from ths sun to reach the eath? give
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

About 8.3 minutes

Explanation:

Use the formula for velocity as the distance covered by the light divided the time it takes: [tex]velocity=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Use the information about the speed of light in vacuum: 300000000 \frac{m}{s} = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

and the information you are given regarding the distance between Sun and Earth: 1.5 * 10^{11} m

to solve the first velocity equation for the unknown time "t":

velocity=\frac{distance}{time} \\3*10^8\frac{m}{s} =\frac{1.5*10^11 m}{t} \\t=\frac{1.5*10^11 }{3*10^8} s= 500 s

we can convert second into minutes by dividing by 60: 500 s = 500/60 minutes = 8.3333... minutes
