A certain part of a computer chip has a length of 1.5 micrometers. How many meters is this ?

1 answer:

4 0

When you're working with units of measure, "micro" almost always means "millionth", or 1 x 10⁻⁶ . And that's exactly the case in this example.

"1.5 micrometer" = 1.5 millionths of a meter, or <em>1.5 x 10⁻⁶ meter.</em>

A proton (mass m = 1.67 × 10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 2.50 × 1012 m/s2 in a machine. If the proton h

Answer:

(A) Speed will be $44.18\times 10^4m/sec$

(b) Change in kinetic energy = $1560\times 10^{-19}$

Explanation:

We have given mass of proton $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg$

Acceleration of the proton $a=2.50\times 10^{12}m/sec^2$

Initial velocity u = $1.60\times 10^4$ m/sec

Distance traveled by proton s = 3.90 cm = 0.039 m

(a) From third equation of motion we know that

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$v^2=(1.60\times 10^4)^2+2\times 2.5\times 10^{12}\times 0.039$

$v=44.18\times 10^4m/sec$

(b) Initial kinetic energy $KE_I=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (1.6\times 10^4)^2$

Final kinetic energy $KE_F=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (44.18\times 10^4)^2$

So change in kinetic energy $\Delta KE=KE_F-KE_I=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^{-27}\times 10^8\times (44.18^2-1.6^2)=1560\times 10^{-19}J$

What is a disadvantage of shared decision-making?

Snezhnost [94]

The disadvantages of shared decision making are:
Adopting a wrong advice from a member can lead to a big risk to the company and the business.
Further, increased number of advice also confuses the person, about which to follow and which to ignore.
There is also diffusion of responsibility and lowered efficiency.

Answer:

Potential energy only

Explanation:

at the top of its swing the pendulum stops moving , (therefore it has no KINETIC energy) thus all of the energy is stored as potential energy.
