Answer:

57.6

Explanation:

"Significant figures" refer to figures that have an actual contribution to a number's value.

They refer to all digits except those with "leading zero," which means having a zero digit before a specific number. For example, in the number 0234, the significant figures are 234.

The rule for adding and subtracting significant figures is to round off the answer to the least number of decimal places. However, when it comes to multiplying and dividing significant figures, you have round off the answer to the least number of significant digits.

Let's solve.

21.4

+15

17.17

4.003

57.573

Let's now round off to the least number of decimal places, which is the tenths. Since 0.5 is followed by a number greater than 5, we have to round it off to 6. Therefore, the answer is: 57.6

Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body while holding a 2.0 kg mass in each hand. She then spins aroun

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

Consider the nearly circular orbit of Earth around the Sun as seen by a distant observer standing in the plane of the orbit. Wha

ikadub [295]

We have that the spring constant is mathematically given as

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

Generally, the equation for angular velocity is mathematically given by

$\omega=\sqrt{k}{m}$

Where

k=spring constant

And

$\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Therefore

$\frac{2\pi}{T}=\sqrt{k}{n}$

Hence giving spring constant k

$k=m((\frac{2 \pi}{T})^2$

Generally

Mass of earth $m=5.97*10^{24}$

Period for on complete resolution of Earth around the Sun

$T=365 days$

$T=365*24*3600$

Therefore

$k=(5.97*10^{24})((\frac{2 \pi}{365*24*3600})^2$

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

In conclusion

The effective spring constant of this simple harmonic motion is

$k=2.37*10^{11}N/m$

ZanzabumX [31]

"This resolving power" was obviously stated earlier, somewhere before the point where you started copying. With no resolving power specified, there's actually no question, and so no answer.

What is the average speed of a kangaroo that hops 60 m in 5 s ?

jok3333 [9.3K]

The formula for average speed is
$v_{avg}= \frac{total distance}{total time}$
So we can just substitute our data.
$v_{avg}= \frac{60}{5}=12 \frac{m}{s}$ - its the result
