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.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let q_1 and q_2 be the charges such that

q_1+q_2=4.7

and Force between charge particles is given by

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}

q_1\cdot q_2=0.522

put the value of q_1

q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522

q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0

q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}

q_2=0.114 C

thus q_1=4.586 C
