Answer:

138.6 megacalculations

Explanation:

This is a pretty straightforward one.

All it needs is to convert the degree of measurement.

Dimensions in physics are attributed names, which state the power to which they're are raised. Just as how

Kilo and Mega means the numbers are raised to the power of 3 and 6 respectively. There also exists the ones that indicates how small, such as milli and micro, which are to the powers of -3 & -6.

The question says the IBM computer calculates at an astonishing 136.8 teracalculations.

Tera in physics means it's raised to the power of 12. Thus, the IBM calculates at an astonishing rate of

136.8*10^12 calculations per second.

We're then asked how many calculations it does in 1 micro second. Like I had highlighted earlier, 1 micro second is 1 raised to the power of -6. Or succinctly put,

1 micro second = 1*10^-6.

If the IBM does

138.6*10^12 = 1 second,

Then it does

x = 1*10^-6 second.

When we cross multiply, we have

138.6*10^12 * 1*10^-6, and that is

138.6*10^6 calculations, or say, 138.6 megacalculations.

The IBM does 138.6 megacalculations in 1 micro second, which is still astonishing, by the way

Lana71 [14]
<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>

Answer:

T = 188.5 s, correct is  C

Explanation:

This problem must be worked on using conservation of angular momentum. We define the system as formed by the fan and the paper, as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved

         

initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = r m v₀ + I₀ w₀

the angular speed of the fan is zero w₀ = 0

final instant. After the crash

        L_f = I₀ w + m r v

        L₀ = L_f

        m r v₀ = I₀ w + m r v

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = r w

        w = v / r

        m r v₀ = I₀ v / r + m r v

         m r v₀ = (I₀ / r + mr) v

       v = \frac{m}{\frac{I_o}{r}  +mr} \ r v_o

let's calculate

       v = \frac{0.020}{\frac{1.4}{0.6  } + 0.020 \ 0.6  } \ 0.6 \ 4

       v = \frac{0.020}{2.345} \ 2.4

       v = 0.02 m / s

         

To calculate the time of a complete revolution we can use the kinematics relations of uniform motion

        v = x / T

         T = x / v

the distance of a circle with radius r = 0.6 m

         x = 2π r

we substitute

         T = 2π r / v

let's calculate

         T = 2π 0.6/0.02

         T = 188.5 s

reduce

         t = 188.5 s ( 1 min/60 s) = 3.13 min

correct is  C
