Easy. All you need to do us to is to shorten the number so that it only contains 3 digits. Change 2.9979248 to 2.99. Don't forget to round the number to the last possible digit. In this case, 2.997 would round to 3.00

So the answer would be 3.00x10^8.

Why?

Well, every non-0 number to the left of the decimal point will count as a significant figure. And every number to the right of the decimal point, whether it's 0 or not, will also count as a significant figure.

The 3 to the left of the decimal point and the 2 0s to the right will add up to 3 significant figures.

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.

A horizontal wire is hung from the ceiling of a room by two massless strings. The wire has a length of 0.11 m and a mass of 0.01
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting horizontally will deflect the wire by angle φ from the vertical

Let T be the tension

T cosφ = mg

Tsinφ = Magnetic force

Tsinφ = BiL  , where B is magnetic field , i is current and L is length of wire

Dividing

Tanφ = BiL / mg

= .055 x 29 x .11 / .010 x 9.8

= 1.79

φ = 61° .

Tension T = mg / cosφ

= .01 x 9.8 / cos61

= .2 N .

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.175 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.25 m/s, but it comes to a
Neko [114]

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.
