Q 1 . How many significant figures are in the following measurement? 0.0009(1 point)

Physics

Crazy boy [7]2 years ago
5 0

Here we have some questions about experimental errors.

Q1) We want to see how many significant figures have the measure:

0.0009

The number of significant figures is the number of known digits that are not the leading zeros.

Here we can see four leading zeros, and a single-digit different than zero, which is a 9.

Then we have only one significant figure, the 9.

Q2) Here we will use the measure that is the less exact, as the error of that measure may be larger than the smaller significant figures of the other measures.

Then:

31.2 lb + 38.02lb + 45 lb

The worst measure is 45lb, so the smallest significant figure that we should use is the first one at the left of the decimal point, then we need to round the other two measures to the next whole number, we will get:

31 lb + 38 lb + 45 lb = 114lbs

Q3) We know that the measure is 11.5 seconds and the uncertainty of 1.7%, then the uncertainty will be the 1.7% of the above measure:

(1.7%/100%)*11.5 s = 0.1955 s

Notice that our measure has one significant figure after the decimal point, so we need to round the error to the same significant figure.

0.1955 s ≈ 0.2s

Then the measure is:

11.5 s ± 0.20 s

Q4) We have the measure:

312.0 mph ± 3.9 mph.

The percent uncertainty will be the quotient between the error and the measure times 100%, or:

(3.9 mph/312.0 mph)*100%  = 1.25%

This is a percent error, we do not need to round this.

1. A car is traveling at 36 m/s hits a tree and comes to rest in 0.05 seconds.
QveST [7]

Answer: a. -720m/s^2

b. Yes, airbags will deploy

Explanation:

The formula for acceleration is:

= (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/Time

Final velocity = 0m/s

Initial velocity = 36m/s

Time taken = 0.05s

= (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/Time

= (0 - 36)/0.05

= -36/0.05

= -720m/s^2.

Since it's negative, it shows that there was a deceleration.

2. Yes the airbag will deploy since the acceleration gotten is more than -600 m/s^2.

A fire woman dropped a person onto the safety net. Right
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

m = 28.7[kg]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of kinetic energy, which can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}\\

where:

Ek = kinetic energy = 1800 [J]

m = mass [kg]

v = 11.2 [m/s]

1800=\frac{1}{2}*m*(11.2)^{2}\\m = 28.7[kg]

Two forces,one of 12 N and another of 24 N,act on a body in such a way that they make an angle of 90degree with each other.Find
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

26.83 N.

Explanation:

If the angle between two vector is 90°, to get the resultant, we use Pythagoras theorem.

a² = b²+c²......................... Equation 1

Where a = R = Resultant, b =  12 N, c = 24 N.

Substitute these values into equation 1

R² = 12²+24²

R² = 144+576

R² = 720

√R² = √720

R = 26.83 N.

Hence, the result of the two force is 26.83 N.

Compared to a blue star in the same local cluster, the surface temperature of a red star is a) greater. b) the same. c) lower. d
Andrew [12]

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this concluding day. The answer would be C);lower. The reason it would be lower is because the hottest color of flames would be blue. Considering the way a start emits light is fire, this would be the most logical reason for it.

I hope that this helps! :P
