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

Answer:

here try this! i hope this helps

Explanation:

There are many advantages when we compare strength training with other forms of training. For example, the biggest benefit would be the increase of muscle mass due to us using the muscle more and for harder movements than usual. Strength training can preserve the mass that we lose with age. Bones also get stronger when we train so they are harder to fracture. We get more joint flexibility from the movements we do. So things as arthritis can be avoided or at least feel better.

How does The centripetal fotce change if the car has less Mass?​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The centripetal force acting on the car is proportional to the mass of the car.

Explanation:

Let,

The mass of the car be 'm'

The velocity of the car moving in the curved path be 'v'

The radius of the curved path be 'r'

According to physics, a body moving ion circular path experience a force directed along the radius of the path. This force is called centripetal force.

The formula for centripetal force is,

                                   <em>F = mv²/r</em>

Where,

                                      a = v²/r

So, if the mass of the car changes, the centripetal force also changes proportionally according to the above equation.
