If you know that the universe is estimated to be 14 billion years old . what is the age of the universe in seconds ???? (knowing
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<em>The estimated age of the universe is</em> 4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

Explanation:

<u>Time Units Conversion</u>

Sometimes we need to express magnitudes in different units, depending on the specific situation handled in the question or problem at hand. Magnitudes like length, time, mass, temperature, pressure, etc., can be expressed in several different units.

The most common units for time are years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. There are 3,600 seconds in one hour and 24 hours in one day.

We are given the estimated age of the universe as 14 billion solar years. If one solar year is 365.25 days long, then the age, expressed in days is

14,000,000,000 * 365.25 days

Some quantities need to be expressed in scientific notation. This is the case since the numbers are too high

14,000,000,000 * 365.25 = 5.1135*10^{12}\ days

There are 24*3600=86400 seconds in one day, so

5.1135*10^{12}\ days=5.1135*10^{12} * 86400 =4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

The estimated age of the universe is 4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

A stunt man jumps from the top of a building and lands 10 meters below his initial height. In case A, the stunt man lands on a s
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.

Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2
