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

Show the weight of the ladder and draw the missing Frictional force.
madreJ [45]
Since there is no friction between the ladder and the wall, there can be no vertical force component. That's the tricky part ;)

So to find the weight, divide the 100N <em>normal</em> force by earths gravitational acceleration, 9.8m/s^2

W =  \frac{N}{g}  =  \frac{100N}{9.8m/s^{2}} =  \frac{100}{9.8} = 10.2kg


Then;
Draw an arrow at the base of the ladder pointing towards the wall with a value of 30N, to show the frictional force.

2.5 gram sample of a radioactive element was formed in a 1960 explosion of an atomic bomb at Johnson Island in the Pacific Test
kow [346]

Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which  half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams

A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o
Vika [28.1K]
The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y

Determine the position in the oscillation where an object in simple harmonic motion: (Be very specific, and give some reasoning
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The greatest speed is attained at middle point or equilibrium point or where displacement from equilibrium point is zero .

When the object remains at one of the extreme point it experiences greatest acceleration but at that point velocity is zero . Due to acceleration , its velocity goes on increasing till it come to equilibrium point . At this point acceleration becomes zero . After that its velocity starts decreasing because of negative acceleration . Hence at middle point velocity is maximum .

The greatest acceleration is attained at maximum displacement or at one of the two extreme end .

Greatest restoring force too will be at position where acceleration is maximum because acceleration is produced by restoring force .

Restoring force is proportional to displacement or extension against restoring force . So it will be maximum when displacement is maximum .

Zero restoring force exists at equilibrium position or middle point or at point where displacement is zero . It is so because acceleration at that point is zero .

The product or products of a reaction are determined by the type of reaction taking place. true or false
Bess [88]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The products of a reaction are determined by the type of chemical reaction that are taking place. This is very true.

In chemical reactions, bonds are broken and atoms re-arranged to form new products.

  • By virtue of this, we can predict and know the kind of permissible combinations that can take place.
  • There are different kinds of chemical reaction.
  • They are synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement reactions e.t.c
  • Knowing these reactions gives insight into the likely products we can obtain.
