The world record for the hundred meter dash is \(9.74 \mathrm{~s}\). What is the corresponding average speed in units of \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}, \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\), and \(\mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}\) ? At this speed, how long would it take to run \(1.00 \times 10^{2}\) yards?
If a piece of hard white blackboard chalk is heated strongly in a flame, the mass of the piece of chalk will decrease, and eventually the chalk will crumble into a fine white dust. Does this change suggest that the chalk is composed of an element or a compound?
Evaluate each of the following and write the answer to the appropriate number of significant figures. a. \(212.2+26.7+402.09\) b. \(1.0028+0.221+0.10337\) c. \(52.331+26.01-0.9981\) d. \(2.01 \times 10^{2}+3.014 \times 10^{3}\) e. \(7.255-6.8350\)
According to the Official Rules of Baseball, a baseball must have a circumference not more than \(9.25\) in or less than \(9.00\) in and a mass not more than \(5.250 \mathrm{z}\) or less than \(5.00 \mathrm{oz}\). What range of densities can a baseball be expected to have? Express this range as a single number with an accompanying uncertainty limit.
When a marble is dropped into a beaker of water, it sinks to the bottom. Which of the following is the best explanation? a. The surface area of the marble is not large enough to be held up by the surface tension of the water. b. The mass of the marble is greater than that of the water. c. The marble weighs more than an equivalent volume of the water. d. The force from dropping the marble breaks the surface tension of the water. e. The marble has greater mass and volume than the water. Justify your choice, and for choices you did not pick, explain what is wrong about them.
