Why is the more cumbersome Two's complement representation preferred instead of the more intuitive sign bit magnitude approach?

Physics

Troyanec [42]2 years ago

7 0

Explanation:

The two's-complement mechanism has the benefit that it does not require the addition and subtraction circuitry to investigate the operands ' signs to evaluate either to add or subtract. This property makes the whole thing both easier to accomplish and able to handle arithmetic of higher accuracy with ease. Also Zero has only one interpretation, bypassing the subtle nuances associated with negative one that arise in the complement-systems of ones.

A rectangular block weighs 240 N. the area of the block in contact with the floor is 20 cm2.calculate the pressure on the floor(

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

12 N/cm²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted by the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) =.?

Weight and force has the same unit of measurement. Thus, we force applied is equivalent to the weight of the block. Thus,

Force (F) = Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) = 240 N

Finally, we shall determine the pressure on the floor as follow:

Force (F) = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F/A

P = 240 / 20

P = 12 N/cm²

Therefore, the pressure on the floor is 12 N/cm².

When boiling water, a hot plate takes an average of 8 minutes and 55 seconds to boil 100 milliliters of water. Assume the temper

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

90.9 seconds

Explanation:

m = Mass of liquid = Volume×Density

c = Specific heat

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

t = Time taken

Room temperature = 75 °F

Converting to Celsius

$(75-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=23.889\ ^{\circ}C$

Heat required to raise the temperature of water

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=100\times 10^{-6}\times 1000\times 4186\times (100-23.889)\\\Rightarrow Q=31860.0646\ J$

Power

$P=\frac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{31860.0646}{8\times 60+55}\\\Rightarrow P=59.55152\ W$

Efficiency of the plate

$\frac{59.5512}{283}\times 100=21.04282\%$

Heat required to raise the temperature of water

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=100\times 10^{-6}\times 784\times 2150\times (56-23.889)\\\Rightarrow Q=5412.63016\ J$

$P=\frac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{Q}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{5412.63016}{0.2104282\times 283}\\\Rightarrow t=90.9\ s$

Time taken to heat the aceton is 90.9 seconds

A basketball with mass of 0.8 kg is moving to the right with velocity 6 m/s and hits a volleyball with mass of 0.6 kg that stays

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

26.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.

p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object

Initial momentum

The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

$p_i= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*6+0.6*0=48 Kg.m/s$

Final momentum

$p_f= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*4+0.6*v_v=32+0.6v Kg.m/s\\32+0.6v_v=48\\0.6v=16\\v_v=16/0.6=26.66666667\approx 26.67 m/s$

Levi observed properties of four different waves and recorded observations about each one in his chart. A 2-column table with 4

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Wave W is a sound wave, Waves X and Y are light waves, and it is impossible to tell what kind of wave Wave Z is.

Explanation:

W travels fastest through metal

X travels fastest through air,

Y travels more slowly through water than air

Z travels more slowly at cool temperatures

W appears to be sound wave as sound travels fastest through metal .

X appears to be light wave as light travels fastest in air .

Y also appears to be light wave as speed of light is reduced when it passes from air to water .

Z It is impossible to tell anything about the nature of Z wave .

A grasshopper jumps at a 65.0 degree angle at 5.42m/s. At what time does it reach its maximum height?

crimeas [40]

When the grasshoppers vertical velocity is exactly zero.
v = -g•t + v0.
v: vertical part of velocity. Is zero at maximum height.
g: 9.81
t: time you are looking for
v0: initial vertical velocity
Find the vertical part of the initial velocity, by using the angle at which the grasshopper jumps.
