How many significant figures does each of the following numbers have?a. 6.21 b. 62.1c. 0.620 d. 0.062
Based on dimensional analysis the following equation is correct :
1. x = a t2
2. x = at + (1/2)a+3
3. x = a/t + at-2
4. x = (1/2) at 2
where x indicates length, a, the acceleration, and t, the time interval concerned.
