In motion with constant acceleration in a plane, what is true about the acceleration vector?

The acceleration vector in motion with constant acceleration remains constant in both magnitude and direction. This allows the motion to be analyzed as two independent one-dimensional motions along perpendicular axes. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that It changes magnitude is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.

In motion with constant acceleration in a plane, how are the x- and y-components of the motion related?

For motion with constant acceleration in a plane, the x- and y-components are independent of each other. The motion can be treated as two separate one-dimensional motions along perpendicular directions, with each component governed by its own constant acceleration. As per NCERT Class 11 Chapter 2, dimensional analysis checks correctness and SI units define base and derived quantities. This principle confirms that They are independent is correct because its dimensions and unit match the physical quantity asked.

Taking into account of the significant figures, what is the value of 9.99 m – 0.0099 m? \[NEET 2020 Phase I\]

Significant figures depend on least precise measurement. For 9.99 m (2 decimal places) minus 0.0099 m (4 decimal places), result 9.9801 m must be rounded to 2 decimal places as per subtraction rule in NCERT. So 9.98 m is correct, retaining 3 significant figures. Thus 9.98 m follows significant figure rules.

How many significant figures are there in the measurement 0.023080?

Significant figures depend on least precise measurement. For 9.99 m (2 decimal places) minus 0.0099 m (4 decimal places), result 9.9801 m must be rounded to 2 decimal places as per subtraction rule in NCERT. So 9.98 m is correct, retaining 3 significant figures. Thus 3 follows significant figure rules.
