a) A unit of time sometimes used in microscopic physics is the shake. One shake equals 10–8 s. Are there more shakes in a second

than there are seconds in a year? (b) Humans have existed for about 106 years, whereas the universe is about 1010 years old. If the age of the universe is defined as 1 "universe day," where a universe day consists of "universe seconds" as a normal day consists of normal seconds, how many universe seconds have humans existe

Answer:

a) Yes, there are 10^8 shakes in a second (1 s \frac{1 shake}{10^{-8}s}=10^8 shake) in a year there are 31,536,000 seconds... that is 3.1536x10^7 (1year\frac{365 day}{1 year} \frac{24 h}{1 day} \frac{60 min}{1 h}\frac{60s}{1min}=3.1536 *10^7)

b) Note that the defined universe day will have 60*60*24=86400 universe seconds if the seconds are defined as normal seconds.

Also one universe day (or 86400 universe seconds) is equivalent to 1010 years. Now using a rule of three we can know the seconds that humans have existed.

106 years * \frac{86,400 universe-seconds}{1,010 years}=9,067.728 s

That is about 2 and half hours.

Identify the relationship between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy for the cyclist at each position
sasho [114]

Answer:

follows are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of every object moving.  PK=m \times v^2 any entity lifted against the strength of gravity stores elastic potential of gravity.

PE = height \times mass  \times  g

Its total power of an independent device stays constant underneath the Mass conservation on Energy and it is, the kinetic energy plus potential energy is just like a fixed (KE+PE=Standard). So, if KE improves, it is valid that PE declines.

If the PE is now at least then KE has been at the highest. It is also valid that KE is reduced as PE is increased as well as the maximum PE, the minimum KE.

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities are capable of modest accelerations. The magni
Mkey [24]
During the first phase of acceleration we have:
v o = 4 m/s;  t = 8 s; v = 13 m/s, a = ?
v = v o + a * t
13 m/s = 4 m / s + a * 8 s
a * 8 s = 9 m/s
a = 9 m/s : 8 s
a = 1.125 m/s²
The final speed:
v = ?;  v o = 13 m/s; a = 1.125 m/s² ;  t = 16 s
v = v o + a * t
v = 13 m/s + 1.125 m/s² * 16 s
v = 13 m/s + 18 m/s = 31 m/s
