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.

Choose the statement that is a misconception about a system in chemical equilibrium. (2 points) The rate of the forward reaction
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The reactions stop once equilibrum is achieved"

Explanation:

A system is said to have attained equilibrium when the rate of forward reaction is the same/equal to the rate of backward reaction.  The reaction below shows a chemical reaction that is at equilibrium

2N₂O₅ (aq) ⇄ 4NO₂ (aq) + O₂ (aq)

An equilibrium reaction is always a reversible reaction. <u>When the system is at equilibrium (when there is a balance), the concentration of the reactants and products do not change despite the fact that reaction does not stop</u>; what happens however is that the rate at which the reactant(s) are formed (backward reaction) will be equal to the rate at which the product(s) are formed (forward reaction).

From the explanation above, it can be deduced that "The reactions stop once equilibrum is achieved" is a misconception about a system in chemical equilibrium.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Though fiber active cable is based on the concept of internal reflection but it is achieved by refractive index which transmit data through fast traveling pulses of light. It has a layer of glass and insulating casing called “cladding,”and this is is wrapped around the central fiber thereby causing light to continuously bounce back from the walls of the Cable.

Answer only number 6
harina [27]

Answer:

<em>Answer A. Fission, steam, turbine, electricity, cool water</em>

Explanation:

<u>Nuclear Energy Production </u>

Nuclear energy is produced by splitting uranium atoms in a process called fission. This generates heat and it's managed to produce steam, which later is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. The heat must be taken out of the system, so a cooling process, usually involving water is the final step.

Because nuclear power plants don't burn fuel, they are known as clean energy sources.

Answer A. Fission, steam, turbine, electricity, cool water
