Asquare solar collector measures 6.00 m by 6.00 m and another solar collector measures 8.000 m by 8.000 m. using the correct number of significant figures what is the combined area of both collectors?
a) 1.00×10^2
b) 1.0 ×10^2
c)1×10^2
d) 1.000x10^2
e) 1.x10^2

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division  is :

The least precise number present determines the number of significant figures in the answer.  

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Area of square collector 1 =

Area of square collector 1 =

Area of square collector 2 =

Area of square collector 2 =

Combined area of both collectors = Area of square collector 1 + Area of square collector 2 =

The combined area of both collectors is

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.

your answer is, orbit around the nucleus
