IBM has a fast computer that it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do '136.8
dmitriy555 [2]

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

Understand that the acceleration vector is in the direction of the change of the velocity vector. In one dimensional (straight l
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

 a = √ (a_t² + a_c²)

a_t = dv / dt ,    a_c = v² / r  

Explanation:

In a two-dimensional movement, the acceleration can have two components, one in each axis of the movement, so the acceleration can be written as the components of the acceleration in each axis.

            a = aₓ i ^ + a_y j ^

Another very common way of expressing acceleration is by creating a reference system with a parallel axis and a perpendicular axis. The axis called parallel is in the radial direction and the perpendicular axis is perpendicular to the movement, therefore the acceleration remains

         a = √ (a_t² + a_c²)

where the tangential acceleration is

           a_t = dv / dt

the centripetal acceleration is

          a_c = v² / r

Mrs. Botts applies brakes on a car help it to decelerate at the rate of -0.80m/s2. What distance is required to stop the car whe
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

vf=0

vi = 17

a = -0.8

Δx = ?

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 a Δx

Δx = (vf^2 - vi^2) / 2a

Δx = (0-17^2) / 2 (-0.8)

Δx = 180.625 m

What it means to say that energy is conserved as a ball fall towards ground
stiv31 [10]
Mechanical energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

if there is no friction, M.E. is conserved
as a ball falls, it is losing height. (P.E.=mgh , therefore P.E. will decrease)

the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy which equals 1/2MV^2.

the increase in K.E. equals the decrease in P.E.

and the sum of both equals M.E.

thus mechanical energy is conserved.

hope this helps you.
