Chapter 1: Q7. (page 18)

Add $(9.2 \times 10^{3} s) + (8.3 \times 10^{4} s) + (0.008 \times 10^{6} s)$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer of the addition is $1.0 \times 10^{5} s$ .

Step by step solution

01

Writing the given data

The addition is defined as the process in which the combined or total result of two or more values can be obtained.

The data given is $T_{1} = (9.2 \times 10^{3} s), T_{2} = (8.3 \times 10^{4} s), T_{3} = (0.008 \times 10^{6} s)$

02

Solving the addition using the rules of significant figures

The value obtained from the addition of the given values is:

$(9.2 \times 10^{3} s) + (8.3 \times 10^{4} s) + (0.008 \times 10^{6} s) = (1.0 \times 10^{5} s)$

According to the rules of significant figures, in addition, the final answer is written in numbers having the least digits after the decimal.

Thus, the final answer is $1.0 \times 10^{5} s$ .

What, roughly, is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball of radius $r = 0.84 \pm 0.04 m$ ?

Three students derive the following equations, in which x refers to the distance traveled, v refers to the speed, a is the acceleration ( $m \cdot s^{- 2}$ ), t is the time, and the subscript zero (role="math" localid="1643793406182" $_{0}$ ) means a quantity at a time t = 0. Here are their equations: (a) $x = {vt}^{2} + 2 at$ , (b) $x = v_{0} t + \frac{1}{2} {at}^{2}$ , and (c) $x = v_{0} t + 2 {at}^{2}$ . Which of these could possibly be correct according to dimensional check, and why?

What are the merits and drawbacks of using a person’s foot as a standard? Consider both (a) a particular person’s foot and (b) any person’s foot. Keep in mind that it is advantageous that fundamental standards be accessible (easy to compare to), invariable (do not change), indestructible and reproducible.

Many sailboats are docked at a marina 4.4 km away on the opposite side of a lake. You stare at one of the sailboats because, when you are lying flat at the water’s edge, you can see its deck but none of the side of the sailboat. You then go to the sailboat on the other side of the lake and measure that the deck is 1.5 m above the level of the water. Using Fig. 1-16, where h = 1.5 m, estimate the radius R of the earth.
