An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50

). To acquire data from memory, the central processing unit sends a light-pulse request to the memory unit. The memory unit processes the request, then sends a data pulse back to the central processing unit. The memory unit takes 0.50 ns to process a request. If the information has to be obtained from memory in 2.00 ns, what is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm

A 97 kg man lying on a surface of negligible friction shoves a 62 g stone away from himself, giving it a speed of 2.6 m/s. What
tangare [24]

Answer:

man will move in opposite direction with speed

v_1 = 1.66 \times 10^{-3} m/s

Explanation:

As we know that man is lying on the friction-less surface

so here net force along the surface is zero

so if we take man + stone as a system then net change in momentum of this system will become zero

so here we have

P_i = P_f

0 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

here we have

0 = (97)v_1 + 0.062(2.6)

v_1 = -\frac{0.1612}{97}

v_1 = -1.66 \times 10^{-3} m/s

To balance a chemical equation we use______. <br> -coefficients <br> -subscripts
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

  • Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a chemical equation should be equivalent to the mass of the products.
  • The conservation of mass is achieved in chemical equations is achieved through balancing chemical equations.
  • <em><u>Balancing chemical equations is a try and error of putting appropriate coefficients to the reactants or products to ensure that the number of atoms of each element are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products. </u></em>

12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto
mixas84 [53]
I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit. 

The total amount of energy doesn't change.  Energy is never created,
and it never disappears.  If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere. 

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
 and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show.  They are all
fakes.  They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.

If 3600 j of work is done in 3.0 s what is the power<br>0.00083W<br>1200W<br>3600W<br>11000W
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1200 W

Explanation:

Power is given by the ratio between work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t the time taken.

In this problem, W = 3600 J and t = 3.0 s. Therefore, the power in this exercise is

P=\frac{3600 J}{3.0 s}=1200 W
