When a user process is interrupted or causes a processor exception, the x86 hardware switches the stack pointer to a kernel stac

k, before saving the current process state. Explain why. Anderson, Thomas. Operating Systems: Principles and Practice (Volume 1 of 4) . Recursive Books. Kindle Edition.

Answer and Explanation

In x86, different stacks are used for kernel & user processes because of security purposes.

The kernel assigns the interrupt dispatch to a common kernel interrupt entry/exit

mechanism which saves pre-interrupt register state before summoning the registered handler(s).

When sending out an interrupt might launch a privilege and/or stack switch,

interrupts that occur while executing user process will switch to use the kernel stack in place at that point, without saving current state.

A Si sample contains 1016 cm-3 In acceptor atoms and a certain number of shallow donors, the In acceptor level is 0.16 eV above
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

6.5 × 10¹⁵/ cm³

Explanation:

Thinking process:

The relation N_{o} = N_{i} * \frac{E_{f}-E_{i}  }{KT}

With the expression Ef - Ei = 0.36 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

and ni = 1.5 × 10¹⁰

Temperature, T = 300 K

K = 1.38 × 10⁻²³

This generates N₀ = 1.654 × 10¹⁶ per cube

Now, there are 10¹⁶ per cubic centimeter

Hence, N_{d}  = 1.65*10^{16}  - 10^{16} \\           = 6.5 * 10^{15} per cm cube

Compared to 15 mph on a dry road, about how much longer will it take for
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

8 to 10 times

Explanation:

For dry road

u= 15 mph        ( 1 mph = 0.44 m/s)

u= 6.7 m/s

Let take coefficient of friction( μ) of dry road is 0.7

So the de acceleration a = μ g

a= 0.7 x 10  m/s ²                         ( g=10 m/s ²)

a= 7 m/s ²

We know that

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 6.7 - 7 x t

t= 0.95 s

For snow road

μ = 0.4

de acceleration a = μ g

a = 0.4 x 10 = 4 m/s ²

u= 30 mph= 13.41 m/s

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 30 - 4 x t'

t'=7.5 s

t'=7.8 t

We can say that it will take 8 to 10 times more time as compare to dry road for stopping the vehicle.

Design for human-fit strategies include:
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

B- extreme fit, close fit, adjustable fit

Explanation:

A human-fit design typically involves the process of manufacturing or producing products (tools) that are easy to use by the end users. Therefore, human-fit designs mainly deals with creating ideas that makes the use of a particular product comfortable and convenient for the end users.

The design for human-fit strategies include; extreme fit, close fit and adjustable fit.

Hence, when the aforementioned strategies are properly integrated into a design process, it helps to ensure the ease of use of products and guarantees comfort for the end users.
