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.

When the starter motor on a car is engaged, there is a 310 A current in the wires between the battery and the motor. Suppose the
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Diameter will be 351.42 mm

Explanation:

We have given current flowing in the copper wire i = 310 A

Voltage drop across the wire V = 0.55 volt

We know that resistance is given by R=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{0.55}{310}=0.00177\Omega

Length of the copper wire l = 1 m

Resisitivity of the copper wire \rho =1.72\times 10^{-8}\Omega m

We know that resistance R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

0.00177=\frac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times  1}{A}

A=969.4545\times 10^{-8}m^2

As area A=\pi r^2

3.14\times r^2=969.4545\times 10^{-8}

r=17.57\times 10^{-4}m

So diameter d=17.57\times 10^{-4}\times 2=35.142\times \times 10^{-4}m = 351.42 mm

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.
grin007 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66

What do tripped circuit breakers and blown fuses indicate.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

When a circuit breaker regularly trips or a fuse repeatedly blows, it is a sign that you are making excessive demands on the circuit and need to move some appliances and devices to other circuits. Or, it may indicate that your house has too few circuits and is in need of a service upgrade.
