- State how many significant figures are proper In the results of the following calculations: (a) (106.7)(98.2)/(46.210)(1.01) ; (b) (18.7)2 ; (c) (1.601019)(3712)arrow_forwardA quart container of ice cream is to be made in the form of a cube. What should be the length of a side, in centimeters? (Use the conversion 1 gallon = 3.786 liter.)arrow_forwardThe following lengths are given in meters. Use metric prefixes to rewrite them so the numerical value is bigger than one but less than 1000. For example, 7.9102m could be written either as 7.9cm or 79mm . (a) 7.9107m : (b) 0.0074m ; (c) 8.81011m : (d) 1.631013m .arrow_forward
- Carry out the arithmetic operations (a) the sum of the measured values 756, 37.2, 0.83, and 2; (b) the product 0.003 2 356.3; and (c) the product 5.620 .arrow_forwardThe following times are given in seconds. Use metric prefixes to rewrite them so the numerical value is greater than one but less than 1000. For example, 7.9102s could be written as either 7.9cs or 7.9ms . (a) 9.57105s : (b 0.045s ; (c) 5.5107s ; (d) 3.16107s .arrow_forwardWhich one of the choices below represents the preferred practice regarding significant figures when multiplying the following: (12.00)(0.811)(0.004)? A. 0.038928 B. 0.038 C. 0.04 D. 0.039 E. 0.0389arrow_forward
- The following lengths are given in meters. Use metric prefixes to rewrite them so the numerical value is -3 bigger than one but less than 1000. For example, 7.9 x 107 m can be written as 7.9 mm. a. 1.8 x 106 m = b. 0.068 m = -10 c. 5.7 x 10 m = d. 3.8 x 10¹ m = Submit Question ? ? V ? ? Varrow_forward2.03 ) Diameter of a coin is measured ast.cm and its height (thickness) is measured as 0.024 cm and weight 5.3 grams. Calculate density of the coin and compare it with the density of copper 8.96 gr/cm3. Could your coin be pure copper? What is the precision in length (delta h) and precision in mass (delta m) based on the measurements given above.arrow_forwardPage 3 of 6 Question 3 How many significant figures are there in the following measurement? 1=123.0040 s Please note that your answer needs to be an integer!arrow_forward
- 1. (a) Convert 4-oz to grams, write your answer using one significant figure. (b) Convert 1.88 y (year) and 65 mi/h to SI units. (c) A cube has each side 2cm, what is its volume in SI unit? Also, express its volume in mL.arrow_forwardIn an experiment, students found the following measurements for a solid cylinder(shown in the table). What is the percent error of the measurement? (Answer must have 3 significant figures. No need to include the units.)
