How many top quark lifetimes have there been in the history of the universe (i. e., what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark)? note that these powers of 10 follow the same rules that any exponents would follow.
(the age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. a top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.1s. writing numbers out with all these zeros is not very convenient. such quantities are usually written as powers of 10. the age of the universe can be written as 1017s and the lifetime of a top quark as 10−24s.
note that1017 means the number you would get by multiplying 10 times 10 times a total of 17 times. this number, as you can see above, would be a one followed by seventeen zeros. similarly, 10−24 is the result of multiplying 0.1 (or 1/10) times itself 24 times. as seen above, this is written as 23 zeros after the decimal point followed by a one.)

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied. true or false

Starting with only the balmer series light (visible light), how could we ensure that the solar panels generate a current that mark can use for his power station? a)by gradually increasing the brightness (amount) of light that we shine on it. b)by gradually increasing the frequency of the light we shine on it. c)by gradually increasing the wavelength of the light that we shine on it.

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
