1. Multiplication or division: keep the same number of significant figures in the product or quotient as is in the least precise factor. Examples: 3.1 * 25.6=79.360000... = 79 6.7/981.0=0.0068297655... = 0.0068 keep only 2 significant digits 2. Powers or roots: keep the same number of significant figures as in the original number. Example: Sqrt(38) 6.164414... keep only 2 significant digits = 6.2 (11.6)² = 134.5600000... = 135 Exercises 3. Addition or subtraction: Round off, to the number of decimal places determined by the number with the least number of places beyond the decimal point. Example: 31.5+24.61 +3.28+1.19 +0.762 +0.003 = 61.345 1. 3.9 * 78.9= = 61.3 (correct result) 2. 32.01 +96.321 +36.98 +0.00023 +28.9= 3. 26.9/98 = 4. 421 0.003 =
2. (25%) Relative Motion Problem: A swimmer crosses a river flowing at 4 milesper hour from east to west, and is 1000 yards wide, by swimming at aconstant velocity of 2 miles/hour from north to south, that is, at right angles tothe riverbank.a. What is the magnitude an direction (angle) of the velocity vector(expressed in m/s) of the swimmer relative to an observer sitting onthe shore precisely at the location where the swimmer started? Note:Convert all variables to the metric (mks) system before performing yourcalculations.b. How far downstream (distance) will the swimmer’s landing point befrom the starting point (expressed in m)?

The motion of a coin dropped inside an airplane as viewed by two different observers. (a) An observer in the plane sees the coin fallstraight down. (b) An observer on the ground sees the coin move almost horizontally.
The car A has a forward speed of 33.0 km/h and is accelerating at 2.3 m/s2 . Determine (a) a speed and (b) that of B, which is taken in a chair on the spinning ferris wheel clockwise at 4 rpm, relative to the car A, which observes it (two decimal places of precision
9) Generic Villain, in an airplane, is chasing Generic Hero who is driving a car. The speed of the airplane is 147 m/s and the speed of the car is 51.0 m/s. If the Villain, at an altitude of 1.00E2 m, wants to drop a bomb on the Hero (and assuming the airplane is in level flight) how far should they be away from the car when they do so? (If you care, the hero gets away with some generic special effects and, you know, turning...) (434 m)

At a long distance shooting match, a bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 3000 feet per second from a rifle held in the horizontal position. When fired the sights of the rifle was dead center of a target. The bullet strikes the target at 4.00 ft below the center of the target. How long (in seconds) did it take for the bullet to reach the target? How far away (in unit of yards) was the target? Neglect any air resistance to the bullet. Make a simple sketch. Make a list of all given values, units, and the variables they represent. write the general form of the equation you are going to use. Insert the known values and solve. For problems with vertical motion State at the start of the problem which direction is positive by using an up or down arrow. Keep the velocity components and time to 2 decimal places
