The speed of light is (2.998e8m/s) How far does light travel in 9.0μs? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.
8. Your calculator gives you the number 1761.2868 as the volume (in cm^ 3) of a box 2.0 ft by 6.5 cm by 1.75 în. Since this number should reflect the precision of the physical measurements, how many significant figures will you record for the volume of the box? What is the volume of the box?

- A student is given the following question:"What is the mass of a gold bar that is 7.379 × 10–4 m3 in volume? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3."The student obtains the answer through the following calculation: For the above calculation, how many significant figures should you report the answer to?arrow_forwardWhat is the volume, in cubic centimeters (cm^3) of 1.00 kilograms of gold?arrow_forwardI think I did a calculation wrong but I am having trouble understanding significant figures. In this problem, I am calculation the density of water from my previous calculations mass= 7.359g and volume=7.8mL. So I then divided 7.359g by 7.8mL to find density and got (.9434615385) on my calculator which I then turned into (.94) because I believe there should be 2 significant figures. Is (.94) correct or should 1.4 be the final answer?arrow_forward
