IBM has a fast computer that it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do '136.8

Physics

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

A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 78.4 m at a speed of 300 m/sec. How far did it travel horizontally before hi
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 300m/s

H is the maximum height = 78.4m

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute into the fromula;

R = 300√2(78.4)/9.8

R = 300 √(16)

R = 300*4

R = 1200m

Hence the projectile travelled 1200m before hitting the ground

12. An organ pipe that is 1.75 m long and open at both ends produces sound of
podryga [215]

Answer:

354 m/s

Explanation:

For the second overtune (Third harmonic) of an open pipe,

λ = 2L/3................................ Equation 1

Where L = Length of the open pipe, λ = Wave length.

Given: L = 1.75 m.

Substitute into equation 1

λ = 2(1.75)/3

λ = 1.17 m.

From the question,

V = λf.......................... Equation 2

V = speed of sound in the room, f = frequency

Given: f = 303 Hz.

Substitute into equation 2

V = 1.17(303)

V = 353.5

V ≈ 354 m/s

Hence the right answer is 354 m/s

An RV is traveling 60 km/h along a highway. A boy sitting near the driver of the RV throws a ball to another boy at the back end
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Speed of the ball relative to the boys: 25 km/h

Speed of the ball relative to a stationary observer: 35 km/h

Explanation:

The RV is travelling at a velocity of

v_{RV}=+60 km/h

Here we have taken the direction of motion of the RV as positive direction.

The boy sitting near the driver throws the ball back with speed of 25 km/h, so the velocity of the ball in the reference frame of the RV is

v_B = -25 km/h

with negative sign since it is travelling in the opposite direction relative to the RV. Therefore, this is the velocity measured by every observer in the reference frame of the RV: so the speed measured by the boys is

v = 25 km/h

Instead, a stationary observer outside the RV measures a velocity of the ball given by the algebraic sum of the two velocities:

v = +60 km/h + (-25 km/h) = +35 km/h

So, he/she measures a speed of 35 km/h.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

1) solvent

2) liquid-solid

3) gas - gas

Explanation:

1) A solution is the homogenous mixture of two or more substances in such a way that its components are uniformly distributed. In any solution, the solvent make up the greatest quantity or volume while the solute is of lesser quantity.

2) liquid-solid is the most common type of solution.

3) A gas solution can be a gas dissolved in a gas, or a liquid dissolved in a gas, or a solid dissolved in a gas.  Air is a gas - gas solution, it is composed of oxygen and other dissolved gases in nitrogen
