IBM has a computer it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do  136.8* 10^{6} calculations in a microsecond or  136.8 megacalculations in a microsecond

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.

There are methods for converting values with multiple units

  • Write down your problem.
  • Find the conversion for one unit
  • Multiply your number by the conversion fraction.
  • Cancel out your units.
  • Multiply with another conversion fraction the same way.
  • Cancel units.
  • Repeat until the conversion is done

The seven base quantities and their corresponding units are:

  • length (metre)
  • mass (kilogram)
  • time (second)
  • electric current (ampere)
  • thermodynamic temperature (kelvin)
  • amount of substance (mole)
  • luminous intensity (candela)

IBM has a computer it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do 136.8 teracalculations per second. How many calculations can it do in a microsecond?

prefixes : tera = 10^{12}

micro = 10^-6, there are  10^6  microseconds \mu s in 1 second

136.8* 10^{12} \frac{calculations}{second} = 136.8* 10^{12} \frac{calculations}{10^6 \mu s}

So, it can do 136.8* 10^{6} calculations in a microsecond or  136.8 megacalculations in a microsecond. The answer is in four significant digits

There are 1,000,000 micro seconds in one second so multiple 136.8 by 1000000 and you'll get 136,800,000 Tera calculations per second.

Blood in a carotid artery carrying blood to the head is moving at 0.15 m/s when it reaches a section where plaque has narrowed t
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

26.9 Pa

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the continuity equation, which states that the volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe must be constant; mathematically:

A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 (1)

where

A_1 is the cross-sectional area of the 1st section of the pipe

A_2 is the cross-sectional area of the 2nd section of the pipe

v_1 is the velocity of the 1st section of the pipe

v_2 is the velocity of the 2nd section of the pipe

In this problem we have:

v_1=0.15 m/s is the velocity of blood in the 1st section

The diameter of the 2nd section is 74% of that of the 1st section, so

d_2=0.74d_1

The cross-sectional area is proportional to the square of the diameter, so:

A_2=(0.74)^2 A_1=0.548 A_1

And solving eq.(1) for v2, we find the final velocity:

v_2=\frac{A_1 v_1}{A_2}=\frac{A_1 (0.15)}{0.548 A_1}=0.274 m/s

Now we can use Bernoulli's equation to find the pressure drop:

p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2

where

\rho=1025 kg/m^3 is the blood density

p_1,p_2 are the initial and final pressure

So the pressure drop is:

p_1 - p_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)=\frac{1}{2}(1025)(0.274^2-0.15^2)=26.9 Pa

1. During which phase of the moon may a solar eclipse occur? (Points : 1)
kotykmax [81]
1. New moon
This is because the moon comes between the Earth and sun and this is only possible during its new moon phase.

2. Full moon
This is because the Earth comes between the Moon and the sun and the effect is only visible when there is a full moon.

3. Corona
The corona is the outer layer and is the only one visible when there is an eclipse.
