I need help with rounding each of the following to 3 significant figures​

Physics
1 answer:
Rina8888 [55]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

2.30×10³

10.3

Explanation:

The rules for significant digits are:

  • Non-zero digits are always significant.
  • Zeros between significant digits are also significant.
  • Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

To write 2300.2 in three significant figures, you'll have to write it in scientific notation.

2.30×10³

To write 10.26730 in three significant figures, simply round to the tenths place.

10.3

Contact [7]

Complete Question

In the year 1178, five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon, causing a red glow in and around it. It is hypothesized that this event created the crater Giordano Bruno, which is right on the edge of the area we can usually see from Earth.

How long after the asteroid hit the Moon,which is 3.84 *10^5 km away ,would the light first arrive on the earth in seconds

Answer:

The time it would take is  t = 1.28 \ sec

Explanation:

The objective of this question is to obtain the time the light would arrive earth

      We are told that the distance from moon to  earth is  

                  D = 3.84*10^5km = 3.84*10^5 * 1000 = 3.84*10^8m

Now generally time is mathematically represented as

                          t = \frac{D}{c}

The c here is the speed of light which has a value of c = 3*10^8 m/s

        Now substituting values

                        t = \frac{3.84 * 10^8 }{3*10^8}

                           = 1.28 \ sec

concave <span>ray diagrams were constructed in order to determine the general location, size, orientation, and type of image formed by concave mirrors. Perhaps you noticed that there is a definite relationship between the image characteristics and the location where an object placed in front of a concave mirror. but, convex</span><span>ray diagrams were constructed in order to determine the location, size, orientation, and type of image formed by concave mirrors. The ray diagram constructed earlier for a convex mirror revealed that the image of the object was virtual, upright, reduced in size and located behind the mirror. </span>

Suppose that you and three classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster. One says that each hill must be lower than
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

I would say that I agree with the one that said that each hill must be lower than the previous one and use the principle of conservation of energy to explain.

Explanation:

Roller coaster are usually designed such that its total energy remains conserved at any point on the track. Now,  the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. At certain height on the track, the total energy of the roller coaster is in form of potential energy, which gets converted to kinetic energy as soon as it starts sliding down the hill till get to the hill's endpoint where it has maximum kinetic energy. The cycle of sliding from a high point on the track to a low point on the track means there is potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and kinetic energy then converts back to potential energy and the cycle continues.

However, due to the effect of gravity and frictional force between the track and the coaster, the energy of the coaster is gradually reduces, so it becomes a bit difficult for the coaster to move to the next hill of the same height. It is for this reason that each hill must be lower than the previous one, so that the coaster can overcome the next hill's height with its reduced energy until it loses all its energy and comes to a stop.
