A disk has 128 tracks of 32 sectors each, on each surface of eight platters. The disk spins at 3600 RPM and takes 15 ms to move

between adjacent tracks. What is the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk

Answer:

the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk is 2971.24 ms

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

first we determine the rotational latency

Rotational latency = 60/(3600×2) = 0.008333 s = 8.33 ms

To get the longest time, lets assume the sector will be found at the last track.

hence we will access all the track, meaning that 127 transitions will be done;

so the track changing time = 127 × 15 = 1905 ms

also, we will look for the sectors, for every track rotations that will be done;

128 × 8.33 = 1066.24 ms

∴The Total Time = 1066.24 ms + 1905 ms

Total Time = 2971.24 ms

Therefore, the longest time needed to read an arbitrary sector located anywhere on the disk is 2971.24 ms

A train whose proper length is 1200 m passes at a high speed through a station whose platform measures 900 m, and the station ma
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c

Vladimir79 [104]

E)  Biotechnology use can lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

Explanation:

Biotechnology use cannot lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

There is no relationship between biotechnology use and increase soil erosion and pollution run off.

Biotechnology involves the application of technology based on living things.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.

Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.

Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :

p = final momentum - initial momentum

p=-mv-mv\\\\p=-2mv

So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).
