Get started for freeThe semiconductor chip at the heart of a personal computer is a square \(4 \mathrm{mm}\) on a side and contains \(10^{9}\) electronic components. (a) What's the size of each component, assuming they're square? (b) If a calculation requires that electrical impulses traverse \(10^{4}\) components on the chip, each a million times, how many such calculations can the computer perform each second? (Hint: The maximum speed of an electrical impulse is \(3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},\) close to the speed of light.)
Making a turn, a jetliner flies \(2.1 \mathrm{km}\) on a circular path of radius \(3.4 \mathrm{km} .\) Through what angle does it turn?
How would you determine the length of a curved line?
Café Milagro sells coffee online. A half-kilogram bag of coffee costs \(\$ 8.95,\) excluding shipping. If you order six bags, the shipping costs \(\$ 6.90 .\) What's the cost per bag when you include shipping?
You're shopping for a new computer, and a salesperson claims the microprocessor chip in the model you're looking at contains 10 billion electronic components. The chip measures \(5 \mathrm{mm}\) on a side and uses 32 -nm technology, meaning each component is \(32 \mathrm{nm}\) across. Is the salesperson right?
