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

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]

When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Your question was incomplete so here is the complete question and answer.

Q. When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g., 10K race)

a) plain water

b) 5-7 percent glucose solution

c) Glucose polymer solution of 6-8 percent

d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Ans. d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Explanation:

Temperature Regulation is an important phenomenon for the person exposed to extreme hot conditions or weather. Exercising in hot conditions increase the body temperature. Greater and intense exercise, greater the production of heat. Then the heat dissipation takes place in the form of excessive sweating which results in dehydration. That was just the brief overview of temperature regulation. Above mentioned techniques are equally good hydration techniques so there is no difference at all. You can have a plain water or glucose solutions of above mentioned percentages.
