A supercomputer can do 136.8 terra calculations per second. How many calculations can it do in a microsecond

1 answer:

7 0

"terra..." as a prefix means 10¹² ,
so the unit speed of this computer is

136.8 x 10¹² calcs/sec.

"micro..." as a prefix means 10⁻⁶ ,
so in that amount of time, the computer can do

(136.8 x 10¹² calc/sec) x (1 x 10⁻⁶ sec) = 136.8 x 10⁶ calcs.

That's ...

... 136.8 mega-calcs

... 0.1368 giga-calcs

... 136,800 kilo-calcs

... 136,800,000 calculations

It might make more sense putting it another way but this is basically it. you just take the minutes and divide them by 60 to convert them to hours. then simplify the ratio

A crane raises a crate with a mass of 150 kg to a height of 20 m. Given that

Virty [35]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 29,400 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

$E_P= m \times g \times h$

The object has a mass of 150 kilograms and is raised to a height of 20 meters. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second.
