Answer:

D

Explanation:

Scientists use significant figures to avoid claiming more accuracy in a calculation than they actually know.

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

It is important to use the correct number of significant numbers when reporting the results of an experiment because they indicate the accuracy of the measurements. Significant numbers in measurement are those that provide fundamental information about uncertainty or accuracy of measurement.

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 2.5 times what it is here on earth. An object weighing 347.9 N here on earth will
inessss [21]

Answer:  weight on Jupiter = 869.75 N

              mass  on Earth = mass on Jupiter = 35.5 Kg

Explanation:

W = mg

W = weight

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration [ on the Earth, g₁ = 9,8 N/kg ]

On the Earth,

G₁ = m x g₁  = 347,9 N

On the Jupiter,

G₂ = mg₂  

mass on the Earth = mass on the Jupiter !  

m = G₁ : g = 347.9 N : 9,8 N/kg = 35.5 kg

G2 : G1 = 2.5

G₂ = 2,5 G₁ = 2,5 x 347.9 N =  869,75 N

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”
dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

1)

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

2)

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1, n_2 are the index of refraction of the two mediums

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)

Here we want the direction of propagation of the light ray not to change: this means that it must be

sin \theta_1 = sin \theta_2 (1)

However, here we have two mediums "a" and "b" with different index of refraction, so

n_1\neq n_2

Therefore the only angle that can satisfy eq.(1) is

\theta_1 = \theta_2 = 0

So, the light must hit the surface perpendicular to the interface between the two mediums.
