प्रश्न

Neha needs to stretch some sticks to 252 times their original lengths, but her (× 25) machine is broken. Find a hook-up of two repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 252) machine. To get started, think about the hookup you could use to replace the (× 25) machine.

उत्तर

Work done by single machine (× 252) = 25 × 25 = 625 or 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 or 52 × 52

Hence, (× 52) and (× 52) hook-up machine can replace the (× 25) machine.

This table shows the mass of one atom for five chemical elements. Use it to answer the question given.

Element Mass of atom (kg)
Titanium 7.95 × 10–26
Lead 3.44 × 10–25
Silver 1.79 × 10–25
Lithium 1.15 × 10–26
Hydrogen 1.674 × 10–27
  1. Which is the heaviest element?
  2. Which element is lighter, Silver or Titanium?
  3. List all five elements in order from lightest to heaviest.

Suppose you have a stretching machine which could stretch almost anything. For example, if you put a 5 metre stick into a (× 4) stretching machine (as shown below), you get a 20 metre stick. Now if you put 10 cm carrot into a (× 4) machine, how long will it be when it comes out?


Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. For example, sending a piece of wire through a (× 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (× 2) machine four times. So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire through a (× 24) machine, its length becomes 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.


What will be the new length of a 4 cm strip inserted in the machine?


For the following repeater machines, how many times the base machine is applied and how much the total stretch is?


Find three repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 64) machine. Draw them, or describe them using exponents.


What will the following machine do to a 2 cm long piece of chalk?


In a shrinking machine, a piece of stick is compressed to reduce its length. If 9 cm long sandwich is put into the shrinking machine below, how many cm long will it be when it emerges?


Find three machines that can be replaced with hook-ups of (× 5) machines.
