<h2>5060 have three significant figures : Explanation given below </h2>

Explanation:

Significant figures

The significant figures (also known as the significant digits and decimal places) of a number are digits that possess certain  meaning .

It  includes all digits except: zeros

Rules to find significant figures

1.All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 23  has two significant figures.

2.Zeros in between two non-zero digits are significant: like in 202.1201  has seven significant figures.

3.Zeros to the left of the significant figures are not significant. For example, .000021 has two significant figures, zeros have no value .

4.Zeros to the right of the significant figures are significant.

That is the reason in number 5060 , it has 3 significant figures .

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy (chemo mechanical energy)

In the state of rest, the rubber is a tangled mass of long chained cross-linked polymer that due to their disorderliness are in a state of increased entropy. By pulling on the polymer, the applied kinetic energy stretches the polymer into straight chains, giving them order and reducing their entropy. The stretched rubber then has energy stored in the form of chemo mechanical energy which is a form of potential energy

Conversion of the stored potential energy in the stretched to kinetic energy

By remaining in a stretched condition, the rubber is in a state of high potential energy, when the force holding the rubber in place is removed, due to the laws of thermodynamics, the polymers in the rubber curls back to their state of "random" tangled mass releasing the stored potential energy in the process and doing work such as moving items placed in the rubber's path of motion such as an object that has weight, w then takes up the kinetic energy 1/2×m×v² which can can result in the flight of the object.

Len [333]

The answer is isotonic solution. These are solutions where the solute concentration in the solution and inside the cells are levelled and consequently water flows consistently. When red blood cells are positioned in an isotonic solution the cells would always stay the same.

the half life of the radioactive element strontium-90 is 29.1 years. If 16 grams of strontium-90 are initially present, how many
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

4 g after 58.2 years

0.0156 After 291 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Half-life of strontium-90 = 29.1 years

Initially present: 16g

mass present after 58.2 years =?

Mass present after 291 years =?

Solution:

Formula:

how much mass remains =1/ 2n (original mass) ……… (1)

Where “n” is the number of half lives

to find n

For 58.2 years

n = 58.2 years /29.1 years

n= 2

or  291 years

n = 291 years /29.1 years

n= 10

Put values in equation (1)

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 22 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 4 (16g)

 mass remains = 4g

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 210 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 1024 (16g)

mass remains = 0.0156g

Consider a beaker of water sitting on the pan of an electronic scale that has been tared. A metal weight hanging from a string i
natka813 [3]

Answer:

See explanation below for answers

Explanation:

We know that the balance is tared, so the innitial weight would be zero. Now, let's answer this by parts.

a) mass of displaced water.

In this case all we need to do is to substract the 0.70 with the 0.13 g. so:

mW = 0.70 - 0.13

mW = 0.57 g of water

b) Volume of water.

In this case, we have the density of water, so we use the formula for density and solve for volume:

d = m/V

V = m/d

Replacing:

Vw = 0.57/0.9982

Vw = 0.5710 mL of water

c) volume of the metal weight

In this case the volume would be the volume displaced of water, which would be 0.5710 mL

d) the mass of the metal weight.

In this case, it would be the mass when the metal weight hits the bottom which is 0.70 g

e) density.

using the above formula of density we calculate the density of the metal

d = 0.70 / 0.5710

d = 1.2259 g/mL
