Answer:

Explanation:

None of the other answers matter but the right answer which A. Silicon has an outer shell of 4. Carbon can connect with 4 elements because of its outer shell. CH4 is the simplest example. But C2H6 is also possible.

H H

H - C - C - H

H H

There are 4 connections to the outside world for the Carbon (C) on the left.

It has 3 hydrogens connected on to it and one of its connecting electrons goes with the other carbon on the right.

Silicon can do the same thing.

The diagram below shows the velocity vectors for two cars that are moving relative to each other.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The answer is " $5 \ \frac{m}{s} \ west$ "

Explanation:

$\to \vec{V_1} = (25 \frac{m}{s}) (\hat{-i})\\\\\to \vec{V_2} = (20 \frac{m}{s}) (\hat{-i})\\\\$

velocity of car | respect to car :

$\to \vec{V_{12}} = \vec{V_1} - \vec{V_2}\\\\$

$=\vec{-25} \hat{i}+ \vec{20} \hat{i}\\\\= 5 \ \frac{m}{s} \ west$

Computers A and B implement the same ISA. Computer A has a clock cycle time of 200 ps and an effective CPI of 1.5 for some progr

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Computer A is 1.41 times faster than the Computer B

Explanation:

Assume that number of instruction in the program is 1

Clock time of computer A is $CT_{A} =200 ps$

Clock time of computer B is $CT_{B} =250 ps$

Effective CPI of computer A is $CPI_{A} =1.5$

Effective CPI of computer B is $CPI_{B} =1.7$

CPU time of A is

$CPU_{time}=instructions \times CPA_{A} \times CT_{A}\\CPU_{time}=1 \times 1.5 \times 200=300 sec$

CPU time of B is

$CPU_{time}=instructions \times CPA_{B} \times CT_{B}\\CPU_{time}=1 \times 1.7 \times 250=425 sec$

Hence Computer A is Faster by $\frac{425}{300} =1.41$

Computer A is 1.41 times faster than the Computer B
