Answer:

Explanation:

Exact numbers are those numbers which are known with 100% certainty  or accuracy . Numbers having decimal are generally not exact because they are a part of long drawn decimal number after rounding off  to certain places after decimal.

On the basis of this definition we can say as follows

speed of light is 2.99792 ×108 . Here the number quoted is not an exact number because it is a rounded off figure of speed of light to five digits  after decimal .

Similarly density of mercury too is rounded off to two digits after decimal

so it is also not a exact number.

There are 3600 s in 1 h . Here 3600 s is  an  exact number because one hour has been defined as 3600 s . It is not measured by any instrument.

In 2003, the United States had 50 states. Here 50 is an exact number .

A coin completes 18 spins in 12 seconds. The centripetal acceleration of the edge of the coin is 2.2 m/s2. The radius of the coi
stellarik [79]

Answer:

2.5 cm

Explanation:

Number of spins in 12 seconds = 18

Number of spins in 1 second = 18 / 12 = 1.5

Number of spins in one second is called frequency.

f = 1.5 rps

ac = 2.2 m/s^2

Let r be the radius of coin

Centripetal acceleration, ac = r x w^2

2.2 = r x ( 2 x 3.14 x 1.5) ^2

2.2 = r x 88.7364

r = 0.025 m = 2.5 cm

A segment is divided into two parts having lengths in the ratio of 5:3. If the difference between the length of the parts is 6",
Triss [41]

Answer:

15"

Explanation:

Let x be the length of the longer part, then the length of the shorter part is 3x/5, or also x - 6

therefore we have the following equation:

3x/5 = x - 6

We can multiply both sides by 5

3x = 5x - 6*5

2x = 30

x = 30/2 = 15"

So the length of the longer part is 15"
