Question

Which of the following factors used in a dimensional analysis calculation have a finite number of significant figures (in other words, they are not exact numbers) that might limit the precision of the calculated value?

A. A conversion factor for time of (60 min/1 hour)
B. A conversion factor for distance of (1000 m/1 km)
C. A measurement of speed equaling (27.7 km/hour)
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: Option C

A measurement of speed equaling (27.7 km/hour)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is measurement of speed equaling (27.7 km/hour) because it is a factor used in dimensional analysis because it is a problem solving method that involve the use of number or expression which can be multiplied without affecting or causing a change in the value of the expression.

27.7km/he is not the exact number that can limit the precision of the calculated value or accurate value.
