What is the average access time for a hard disk spinning at 360 revolutions per second with a seek time of 10 milliseconds?

Physics

antoniya [11.8K]3 years ago
3 0

As the hard disk makes 360 revolutions per second, so one full rotation requires 1/360 sec = 0.002778 sec = 2.778 ms.  

On average, however, we expect to require half a rotation. Therefore, we need 1.389 ms. The second part of the movement depends on the seek time which is 10 ms. Therefore, the total time is 1.389+10=11.389 ms on average.

Explain why the intensity of the light in a flashlight beam decreases as the flashlight moves farther away.
Karolina [17]
Ir=Initial Intensity/Area of spread=Io4πr2
Ir∝1r2

It is seen from this expression that intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. As we move away from the light source the intensity decreases at the rate of square of the distance from the source.

Brightness being the perception of intensity. more the intensity more bright the object is perceived and vice versa.

A spring with spring constant k is suspended vertically from a support and a mass m is attached. The mass is held at the point w
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz.

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of the object that is suspended vertically from a support. The potential energy stored in the spring is given by :

E_s=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

k is the spring constant

x is the distance to the lowest point form the initial position.

When the object reaches the highest point, the stored potential energy stored in the spring gets converted to the potential energy.

E_P=mgx

Equating these two energies,

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

\dfrac{k}{m}=\dfrac{2g}{x}.............(1)

The expression for the oscillation frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2g}{x}} (from equation (1))

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 9.8}{0.18}}

f = 1.66 Hz

So, the oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.

(I) A car slows down from 28 m????s to rest in a distance of 88 m. What was its acceleration, assumed constant?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The  value is  a = -  4.45 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

       The  initial speed is  u  =  28 \  m/s at a distance of  s_1  =  0 \ m

        The  final speed is  v  =  0 \  m/s    at a distance of  s_2 =  88 \  m

Generally  from the  kinematic equation we have that

       v^2  =  u^2  +2as

=>   a = \frac{v^2  -  u^2  }{ 2(s_2  -  s_1 )}

=>  a = \frac{0 -  28^2  }{ 2(88  -  0 )}

=>   a = -  4.45 m/s^2

The negative sign shows that it is decelerating

A researcher studying the nutritional value of a new candy places a 6.60 g 6.60 g sample of the candy inside a bomb calorimeter
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

there are 3.018 kcal= 3018 cal per gram of candy

Explanation:

If the assume that the calorimeter is perfectly insulated, then all the heat released by the combustion is absorbed by the calorimeter.

Also knowing that Q= C * ΔT , where C= heat capacity of the calorimeter , ΔT= temperature change , Q = heat released by the combustion of the candy

replacing values

Q = C * ΔT = 33.90 kJ/°C * 2.46°C = 83.394 kJ

since Q is the heat released when burned all the mass m of the candy, the number of calories per gram of candy will be

q = Q/m =83.394 kJ / 6.60 g = 12.635 kJ/g

q = 12.635 kJ/g * 1 kcal / 4.186 kJ = 3.018 kcal per gram of candy
