scoundrel [369]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: the same number of decimal places as the least precise value.

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

For example: 12.1 + 3.245 = 15.3  as the least precise number 12.1 has one decimal place.

Thus William should write the sum of these two numbers by using the same number of decimal places as the least precise value.

Three displacements through a hedge maze. (b) The displacement vectors. (c) The first displacement vector and its components. (d
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

18.3 m , 25.4°

Explanation:

d1 = 6 m, θ1 = 40°

d2 = 8 m, θ2 = 30°

d3 = 5 m, θ3 = 0°

Write the displacements in the vector form

d_{1}=6\left ( Cos40\widehat{i}+Sin40\widehat{j} \right )=4.6\widehat{i}+3.86\widehat{j}

d_{2}=8\left ( Cos30\widehat{i}+Sin30\widehat{j} \right )=6.93\widehat{i}+4\widehat{j}

d_{3}=5\widehat{i}

The total displacement is given by

\overrightarrow{d}=\overrightarrow{d_{1}}+\overrightarrow{d_{2}}+\overrightarrow{d_{3}}

d=\left ( 4.6+6.93+5 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 3.86+4 \right )\widehat{j}

d=16.53\widehat{i}+7.86\widehat{j}

magnitude of resultant displacement is given by

d ={\sqrt{16.53^{2}+7.86^{2}}}=18.3 m

d = 18.3 m

Let θ be the angle of resultant displacement with + x axis

tan\theta =\frac{7.86}{16.53}=0.4755

θ = 25.4°

Which is hotter, Canopus or Vega? How much brighter?
marusya05 [52]

Temperature determines the hotness or coldness. The surface temperature of Canopus is 7350 K. The surface temperature of Vega is 9602 K. Because the surface temperature of Vega is greater than Canopus, Vega is hotter.

Brightness is determined by the star's magnitude. The apparent magnitude of Canopus is (-0.72) and that of Vega is (0.03). we know that, lesser the magnitude, brighter is the star. Hence, Canopus is brighter.

Vega is hotter but Canopus is brighter. This is because, brightness depends on the star's distance and size of the star as well other than the factor temperature.

How much pressure is created by a circular piston that is 0.24 meter in diameter
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

4000 N/m²

Explanation:

Area = πr²

Area = π x 0.12² (diameter/2)

Area = 0.05 m²

Pressure = force/area

Pressure = 200/0.05

Pressure = 4000 N/m²

Hope this helps!

A machine has an efficiency of 80%. How much work must be done on the machine so to make it do 50,000 J of output work?
Tamiku [17]

Work formula is Work=N∙M or Joule (J)

So you have the following given:

50 000 is the output work

.8 is the efficiency

 if you input the given = 50000 = .8*J

To get the answer just divide 50000 by .8 to get the answer.

62,500 J is the amount of work to be done.
