The age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. A top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.000000000000000000000001s. W

riting numbers out with all these zeros is not very convenient. Such quantities are usually written as powers of 10. The age of the universe can be written as 1017s and the lifetime of a top quark as 10−24s.Note that1017 means the number you would get by multiplying 10 times 10 times 10... a total of 17 times. This number, as you can see above, would be a one followed by seventeen zeros. Similarly, 10−24 is the result of multiplying 0.1 (or 1/10) times itself 24 times. As seen above, this is written as 23 zeros after the decimal point followed by a one.***How many top quark lifetimes have there been in the history of the universe (i.e., what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark)? Note that these powers of 10 follow the same rules that any exponents would follow.

Answer:

10^{41}

Explanation:

Age of the universe = 100,000,000,000,000,000=10^{17}\ s

Lifetime of a top quark = 0.000000000000000000000001=10^{-24}

Top quark life would be given by

t=\dfrac{\text{Age of the universe}}{\text{Lifetime of a top quark}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{10^{17}}{10^{-24}}\\\Rightarrow t=10^{17+24}\\\Rightarrow t=10^{41}\ s

Hence, the answer is 10^{41}\ s

Explanation:

  • The Gauss's law is the law that relates to the distribution of electrical charges to the resulting electrical field. It states that a flux of electricity outside the arabatory closed surface is proportional to the electricitical harg enclosed by the surface.

Determine whether the center of mass of the system consisting of the earth and moon lies inside or outside the earth. Assume tha
tester [92]

Answer:

R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The important concept of mass center defined by

         R_cm = 1 / M   ∑  x_i m_i

where M is the total mass, x_i and m_i are the position and masses of each body

Let's apply this expression to our case.

Let's set a reference frame where the axis points from the center of the Earth to the Moon,

       R_cm = 1 / M (m_earth 0 + m_moon d)

the total mass is

      M = m_earth + m_moon

     

the distance from the Earth is zero because all mass can be considered to be at its gravimetric center

let's calculate

      M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.35 10²²

      M = 6.0535 10₂⁴24 kg

we substitute

      R_cm = 1 / 6.0535 10²⁴ (0 + 7.35 10²² 3.84 )

      R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m

Hi, I need your help with this Physics exercise, I hope you can help me A pulse moving to the right along the x axis is represen
igomit [66]

Answer:

Velocity = 0.309 m/s

Along negative x axis

Explanation:

A pulse moving to the right along the x axis is represented by the wave function

y(x,t) = 2/ (x - 3t)² + 1

At t =0

y(x,0) = 2/ ((x - 3(0))² + 1)

        =2 / (x² + 1)

At t = 1

y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(1))² + 1)

= 2 /(( x - 3)² + 1)

At t = 2

y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(2))² + 1)

= 2 /(( x - 6)² + 1)

For the pulse with expression y(x,t) = 4.5e^{-(8.73x + 2.70t)}²

The Velocity is

V = 2.7 / 8.73

= 0.309 m/s
