In determining the number of significant figures in a given number, there are three rules to always remember / follow:

First: All integers except zero are always significant.

<span>Second: Any zeros located between  non zeroes are always significant.</span>

Third: A zero located after a non zero in a decimal is always significant whether it is before or after the decimal

 

Therefore using this rule, the number of significant digits in the given numbers are:

(a) 214 = 3

(b) 81.60 = 4

(c) 7.03 = 3

(d) 0.03 = 1

(e) 0.0086 = 2

(f) 3236 = 4

(g) 8700 = 2

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is \mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the block, = M</em>
  • <em>coefficient of static friction in section 1, = </em>\mu_s_1<em />
  • <em>angle of inclination of the plane, = θ</em>

<em />

The normal force on the block is calculated as follows;

Fₙ = Mgcosθ

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is calculated as follows;

F_s = \mu_s F_n\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1(Mg cos\ \theta)\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1 Mgcos\ \theta

Thus, the static friction exerted on the block by the incline is \mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta

Calculate the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

De broglie wavelength, \lambda = \frac{h}{mv}, where h is the Planck's constant,  m is the mass and v is the velocity.

h = 6.63*10^{-34}

Mass of hydrogen atom,  m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

v = 440 m/s

Substituting

   Wavelength \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{1.67*10^{-27}*440} = 0.902 *10^{-9}m = 902 *10^{-12}m

1 pm = 10^{-12}m\\ \\ So , \lambda =902 pm

So  the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s is 902 pm

An elementary particle of mass m completely absorbs a photon, after which its mass is 1.01m. (a) what was the energy of the inco
sdas [7]
A.) We use the famous equation proposed by Albert Einstein written below:

E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy of the photon
Δm is the mass defect, or the difference of the mass before and after the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s

Substituting the value:

E = (1.01m - m)*(3×10⁸ m/s) = 0.01mc² = 3×10⁶ Joules

b) The actual energy may be even greater than 3×10⁶ Joules because some of the energy may have been dissipated. Not all of the energy will be absorbed by the photon. Some energy would be dissipated to the surroundings.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n
Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz
