The mass of an electron up to three significant digits is written as \boxed{9.11 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}\,{\text{kg}}}.

Further Explanation:

The significant numbers in a measured quantity are the numbers that have their role in representation of the measured quantity in terms of the resolution of the quantity.

The scientific notation for any measured quantity is expressed as:

A = a... \times {10^n}  

Here, a are the combined significant digits in the quantity.

The number of digits present in a represents the number of significant digits in the representation of the quantity.

The following is the list of rules to be considered for the significant numbers.

a) Each and every non-zero number is a significant number.

b) A zero present between two significant numbers is also a significant number.

c) The zeros written after the decimal point are significant numbers.

d) Only zero before a decimal is not a significant number.

Therefore, the mass of an electron up to three significant digits is written as \boxed{9.11 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}\,{\text{kg}}} and the three significant digits in the number are 9,1\& 1.

The mass of an electron, me, 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms shows there are 3 important numbers in them, namely numbers 9, 1, and 1

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

Significant numbers are obtained from measurement results of exact numbers and the last number estimated

This is called significant numbers

the scientific notation can be described as:

a, ... x 10ⁿ

a, ... called a significant number

10ⁿ is called a big order

Rules for significant numbers in general:

  • 1. All non-zero numbers are significant numbers
  • 2. a zero which is located between two non-zero numbers including a significant number
  • 3. all zeros are located in the final row written behind the decimal point of the include significant number
  • 4. zero decimal point is the not significant number

From the numbers known in the question amounting to 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms shows there are 3 important numbers in them,(symbol a, before a big order ,called a significant number) namely numbers 9, 1, and 1

On an amusement park ride, passengers are seated in a horizontal circle of radius 7.5 m. The seats begin from rest and are unifo
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying the definition of angular acceleration, as the rate of change of the angular acceleration, and as the seats begin from rest, we can get the value of the angular acceleration, as follows:

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

⇒ ωf = α*t ⇒ α = \frac{wf}{t} = \frac{1.4 rad/s}{21 s} = 0.067 rad/s2

The angular velocity, and the linear speed, are related by the following expression:

v = ω*r

Applying the definition of linear acceleration (tangential acceleration in this case) and angular acceleration, we can find a similar relationship between the tangential and angular acceleration, as follows:

a = α*r⇒ a = 0.067 rad/sec²*7.5 m = 0.5 m/s²

A spring-powered dart gun is unstretched and has a spring constant 16.0 N/m. The spring is compressed by 8.0 cm and a 5.0 gram p
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 16N/m

Extension of spring

x = 8cm = 0.08m

Mass

m = 5g =5/1000 = 0.005 kg

The ball will leave with a speed that makes its kinetic energy equal to the potential energy of the compressed spring.

So, Using conservation of energy

Energy in spring is converted to kinectic energy

So, Ux = K.E

Ux = ½ kx²

Then,

Ux = ½ × 16 × 0.08m²

Ux = 0.64 J

Since, K.E = Ux

K.E = 0.64 J

For which of the following problems would a scientist most likely use carbon-14?
spayn [35]

Answer:

To calculate the age of a piece of bone

Explanation:

Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is  normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.

Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.

A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.
