Questions I a) Which is greater in length, 1 millimeter or 1/16 inch? 2. Consider using the same meter stick and the same scale to measure two objects of different lengths. (One object is exactly 1.674532 cm in length and the other is exactly 85.839287 cm, but you won't be able to measure that preciseiy with a meter stick.) When you measure these objects using the meter stick, which of your length measurements is likely to have the higher percent error? Explain. (Hint: think of where the error comes from every time you use a measuring device and how that would affect the error of the measurernent associated with a smell versus a larger object)

A marathon runner completes a 42.188-km course in 2 h, 30 min, and 12s. There is an uncertainty of 25 m in the distance traveled and an uncertainty of 1 s in the elapsed time. (a) Calculate the percent uncertainty in the distance. (b) Calculate the percent uncertainty in the elapsed time. (C) What is the average speed in meters per second? (d) What is the uncertainty in the average speed?
I have a question for the square root of units. So I have the formula 2pi√m/k And m=50g and k=32,700 dynes/cm. (dynes is g x cm/sec2) So when I plug everything in and cancel units out im left with √654sec2 My question is does the square root cancel out with sec2 individually so i'll still have to square root 654 or does the square root cancel out with the whole thing and im left with 654 without having to square root it. Therefore leading to 2pi(654sec). Or would it be 2pi(25.6sec)
How many significant figures are there in (a) 0.0000303 and(b) 6.201 * 105?
v=1.000mphv=1.000mph in SI units?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
A calculator displays a result as 1.365 218 0 X 107 kg. The estimated uncertainty in the result is 2%. How many digits should be included as significant when the result is written down? (a) zero (b) one (c) two (d) three (e) four
If you used only a keyboard to enter data, how many years would it take to fill up the hard drive in your computer that can store 95gigabytes95gigabytes (95×109bytes95×109bytes) of data? Assume "normal" eight-hour working days, and that one byte is required to store one keyboard character, and that you can type 180 characters per minute. Express your answer using two significant figures.
A two-legged robot is programmed so that upon switching it on, it will do a repetitive pair of steps; one step towards east and then one step towards north, with each step correspoding to equal lengths. If after making 1000 pairs of steps, the robot can be found at 956.8m, 45° NE, what is the length of each step?
please help with questions 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 because they’d re for one whole data altogether, please make it look nice and clear

Assume your hair grows at a rate of 1/44th of an inch per day. How fast is that in nm/s (nanometers per second)? Given that a typical atom is on the order of 1 x 10^(-10) m in diameter (see Table 1.3 on page 18 of the textbook), at approximately what rate does the protein synthesis that assembles your hair strands deposit atoms in units of atoms per second? I need the second question to be rounded to 1 significant digit.
