Explanation:
Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width
For statement A;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²
The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)
For statement B;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²
Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)
Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
Hey there!
Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.
0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s
–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s
So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.
Hope this helps
