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.

Alona [7]
<span>The correct answer should be B) 63.55. That's because the most precise number is 63.546, but you would write 55 because 46 is rounded that way in the equation. The others are a bit higher, while E is a completely different element, Iodine. This isn't the most precise piece of data because in reality there would be a slight differentiation of +- 0,003u</span>

If an object is propelled upward from a height of 128 feet at an initial velocity of 112 feet per​ second, then its height h aft
Marina CMI [18]

Explanation:

The equation of motion of an object is given by :

h(t)=-16t^2+112t+128

Where

t is the time in seconds

We need to find the time when the object hits the ground. When the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

So,

-16t^2+112t+128=0

-t^2+7t+8=0

On solving above equation using online calculator, t = 8 seconds. So, the object hit the ground after 8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

Question:
exis [7]

Answer:

She can swing 1.0 m high.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The mechanical energy of Jane (ME) can be calculated by adding her gravitational potential (PE) plus her kinetic energy (KE).

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

And the potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of Jane.

v = velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

h = height.

Then:

ME = KE + PE

Initially, Jane is running on the surface on which we assume that the gravitational potential energy of Jane is zero (the height is zero). Then:

ME = KE + PE      (PE = 0)

ME = KE

ME = 1/2 · m · (4.5 m/s)²

ME = m · 10.125 m²/s²

When Jane reaches the maximum height, its velocity is zero (all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy). Then, the mechanical energy will be:

ME = KE + PE      (KE = 0)

ME = PE

ME = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

Then, equallizing both expressions of ME and solving for h:

m · 10.125 m²/s² =  m · 9.8 m/s² · h

10.125 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s²  = h

h = 1.0 m

She can swing 1.0 m high (if we neglect dissipative forces such as air resistance).

A man stands at the midpoint between two speakers that are broadcasting an amplified static hiss uniformly in all directions. Th
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The power of each of the speakers is 0.535 W. At a distance d intensity of sound can be found by the following formula

Intensity of sound =  Power / 4π d²

= .535 / 4 x 3.14 x (27.3/2)²

= 2.286 x 10⁻⁴ J m⁻² s⁻¹

Intensity of sound due to other source = 5.715 x 10⁻⁵J m⁻² s⁻¹

Total intensity = 2 x 2.286 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

= 4.57 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

b ) In this case, man is standing at distances 18.15 m and 9.15 m from the sources .

The total intensity of sound reaching him is as follows

0.535 / (4 π x18.15² ) + 0.535 /  (4 π x9.15² )

= 1.293 x 10⁻⁴ + 5.087 x 10⁻⁴

= 6.38 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹
