GRADED A+
⩥ The metric prefix for one one-thousandth is. Answer: milli
⩥ The number of significant figures in 10001 is. Answer: 5
⩥ The length and width of a rectangle are 1.125 m and 0.606 m,
respectively. Multiplying, your calculator gives
the product as 0.68175. Rounding properly to the correct number of
significant figures, the area should be written as. Answer: 0.682 m2
⩥ 0.0001776 can also be expressed as. Answer: 1.776 × 10-4
⩥ How many grams is forty milligrams?. Answer: 0.0 40 g
⩥ Suppose that an object travels from one point in space to another.
Make a comparison between the displacement
and the distance traveled. Answer: The displacement is either less than
or equal to the distance traveled
,⩥ Suppose that a car traveling to the East (+x direction) begins to slow
down as it approaches a traffic light. Make
a statement concerning its acceleration.. Answer: The car is decelerating,
and its acceleration is negative.
⩥ Suppose a can, after an initial kick, moves up along a smooth hill of
ice (no friction). Make a statement
concerning its acceleration. Answer: It will have the same acceleration,
both up the hill and down the hill.
⩥ Suppose a ball is thrown straight up. Make a statement about the
velocity and the acceleration when the ball
reaches the highest point.. Answer: Its velocity is zero and its
acceleration is not zero.
⩥ Ball A is dropped from the top of a building. One second later, ball B
is dropped from the same building. As
time progresses, the distance between them. Answer: increases
⩥ Ball A is thrown downward from the top of a building. One second
later, ball B is thrown upward from the
same at the same speed. Which one has the greatest average speed
during the first second of its flight?. Answer: A
, ⩥ Ball A is thrown downward from the top of a building. One second
later, ball B is thrown upward from the
same at the same speed. Which one has the greatest average acceleration
during the first second of its flight?. Answer: The two bricks accelerate
at the same rate
⩥ Ball A is thrown downward from the top of a building. One second
later, ball B is thrown upward from the
same at the same speed. Which one has the greatest speed just before
impact?. Answer: Both A and B have the same speed
⩥ Suppose a skydiver jumps from a high-flying plane. What is her
acceleration when she reaches terminal
velocity?. Answer: It is essentially zero.
⩥ The area under a curve in a velocity versus time graph gives. Answer:
displacement.
⩥ The slope of a velocity versus time graph gives. Answer: acceleration.
⩥ If you are driving 72 km/h along a straight road and you look to the
side for 4.0 s, how far do you travel during
this inattentive period?. Answer: 80 m
