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.

A active-satellite, one that sends out electromagnetic waves, can be the energy down toward the ocean surface and determine how
Anna71 [15]

Answer: This is called backscatter which refers to the ability of big waves to reflect the energy in order to give back the signal .

Explanation:

What is meant by backscatter?

Backscatter is the process where by the waves or signal is reflected back to the original direction and get scattered in all directions.

Backscatter allows us to receive signal and be able to view all the channels that are connected through the satellite.

A motorcycle that is slowing down uniformly. The motorcycle covers 1 ????m=1000 m in 80 sec⁡. The motorcycle then covers the nex
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Part a)

acceleration = -0.042 m/s/s

Part b)

initial speed = 14.17 m/s

final speed = 5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Let the initial velocity of the motorcycle is

v_i = v_o

now at the end of 80 s let the speed is

v_f = v_1

after another 120 s let the speed will be

v_f' = v_2

now we know that

d = \frac{v_i + v_f}{2} (t)

d = \frac{v_o + v_1}{2}(80)

1000 = 40(v_o + v_1)

also we know that

v_1 - v_o = a(80)

also we have

1000 = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}(120)

1000 = 60(v_1 + v_2)

now we can say

(v_2 + v_1) - (v_o + v_1) = \frac{50}{3} - \frac{50}{2}

also we know

v_2 - v_o = a(120 + 80)

-8.33 = 200 a

a = -0.042 m/s^2

Part b)

now we have

v_1 + v_o = 25

v_1 - v_o = (-0.042)(80)

v_1 = 10.83 m/s

so the starting velocity of the trip is

v_o = 25 - 10.83 = 14.17 m/s

now speed after t = 200 s is given as

v_2 = v_o + at

v_2 = 14.17 - (0.042)(200)

v_2 = 5.77 m/s

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
serg [7]
Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..
