Answer:
0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m
Explanation:
Scientific notation allows us to write very large or very small numbers in abbreviated form. This notation simply consists of multiplying by a power of base 10 with a positive or negative exponent.
A number written in scientific notation has the form:
a*10ⁿ
where:
- the coefficient a has a value such that 1 ≤ a <10
- n is an integer. Represents the number of times the decimal point is shifted. It is always a whole number, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.
So to write the number 0.000000002 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:
- The decimal point is moved to the right as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit.
- This number is then written, which will be the coefficient a in the expression of the previous product. So a=2.0
- The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the comma moves. So n=9. But this is a negative number because the comma shifts to the right.
So, you get: <u><em>0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m</em></u>
Based on the information in the question, a light year is the distance traveled light in one year. Then if the light from the star Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the earth, then its distance from earth is 4.2 light years.
You will need to turn this into scientific notation, so:
1.176 × 10^1 cm^2
To two significant figures means to two digits so since 7 is greater than 5, you will need to round up.
Final answer is:
1.2×10^1 cm^2
5 m/s
30 divided by 6 is 5
Answer:
<u>The pendulum bob swing past the mean position because:</u>
When a pendulum's bob is accelerating at its extreme position its velocity is zero. Due to the restoring toque the bob starts to accelerates towards its mean postion. The maximum acceleration of the pendulum's bob is 
and the the acceleration decreases as 
towards the mean position.
The acceleration at the mean position becomes zero but the velocity remains maximum. Hence the bob continues to move and does not stops.Thus it can summarised as the force decreases ,acceleration decreases and velocity increases at slow rate.
