What term was used to describe the final digit

Physics
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Significant digits (also called significant figures or “sig figs” for short) indicate the precision of a measurement. A number with more significant digits is more precise. For example, 8.00 cm is more precise than 8.0 cm.

Light of wavelength 559 nm is used to illuminate normally two glass plates 22.1 cm in length that touch at one end and are separ
umka21 [38]

Answer:

M = 222 fringes

Explanation:

given

λ = 559 n m = 559 × 10⁻⁹ m

radius = 0.026 mm = 0.026 ×10⁻³ m

length of the glass plate = 22.1 ×10⁻² m

using relation

2t=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda\ \ (m=0,1,2,3...)\\where\ 0\leq t\leq 2r\\m = \dfrac{2t}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}

m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2r}{\lambda}-\dfrac{1}{2}\\m_{max} = \dfrac{2\times 2\times 0.026\times 10^{-3}}{559\times 10^{-9}}-\dfrac{1}{2}

 = 221.79  

 = 221 (approx.)

hence no of bright fringe

M = m + 1

   = 221 +1

M = 222 fringes

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

A boat, whose speed in still water is 2.50 m/s, must cross a 285-m wide river and arrive at a point 118m upstream from where it
son4ous [18]

The figure shows the arrangement of system

The velocity of boat can be resolved in to two

     Horizontal component  = vcos θ = 2.50 cos 45 = 1.768 m/s

     Vertical component  = vsin θ = 2.50 sin 45 = 1.768 m/s

   Due to horizontal component the boat arrive arrives upstream,

           Total horizontal velocity =  1.768 - Vr, where Vr is the velocity of river.

  Total time taken to cross the river = width of river/ Vertical component of velocity

                         t = 285/1.768 = 161.20 seconds

So 118 meter is traveled at a velocity of 1.768-Vr in 161.20 seconds

That is           118 = (1.768-Vr)*161.20

                     1.768 - Vr =0.732

                         Vr = 1.036 m/s

So velocity of river flow =1.036 m/s

Physics question, help please!
vova2212 [387]

The change in potential energy when the block falls to ground is -480J.

The maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball is 480 J.

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is 0 J.

The final  kinetic energy of the ball is 0.148J.

The initial potential energy of the ball is 0.187 J.

The final  potential energy of the ball is 0 J.

The work done by the air resistance is 0.039 J.

<h3>Change in potential energy when the block falls to ground</h3>

ΔP.E = -mgh

ΔP.E = -Wh

ΔP.E = - 40 x 12

ΔP.E = -480 J

<h3>Maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

ΔK.E = - ΔP.E

ΔK.E = - (-480 J)

ΔK.E = 480 J

<h3>Initial kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

K.Ei = 0.5mv²

where;

  • v is zero since it is initially at rest

K.Ei = 0.5m(0) = 0

<h3>Final kinetic energy</h3>

K.Ef =  0.5mv²

K.Ef = 0.5(0.0091)(5.7)²

K.Ef = 0.148 J

<h3>Initial potential energy of the ball</h3>

P.Ei = mghi

P.Ei = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 2.1

P.Ei = 0.187 J

<h3>Final potential energy</h3>

P.Ef = mghf

P.Ef = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 0

P.Ef = 0

<h3>Work done by the air resistance</h3>

W = ΔE

W = P.E - K.E

W = 0.187 J - 0.148 J

W = 0.039 J
