A 1500-kg car moving at 25 m/s hits an initially uncompressed horizontal ideal spring with spring constant of 2.0 × 106 N/m. What is the maximum distance the spring compresses?

The literal translation of the word is divine wind or wind of the gods, used to describe Japanese fighter pilots in WWII.

The major source for our knowledge of Japanese mythology in the “Chronicles of Ancient Events” or

Fill-in-the-blank with the NAME of each popular Kami described: (These names ARE included in ‘Fill-in-the-blank Word List’)   = The kami of war.   = The kami of rice.  = The kami of education. = The kami from whom all Japanese emperors descend.

In Japanese mythology, who is the chief of the spirits?

As explained in the RFB video “What is Shinto”……define ‘shimanawa’ and explain how it is used in Shinto. (Must provide BOTH the definition and explanation of use to receive credit.)

Consider the following instruction breakdown that decomposes an instruction into 4 parts: OPCODE DST SRC IMM OPCODE specifies the OPeration’s CODE.DST specifies a DeSTination register.SRC specifies a SouRCe register.IMM specifies a 2’s complement value (that’s IMMediately available as part of the instruction). Assume the architecture has 32-bit instructions, 43 opcodes, and 59 registers. A.) What is the minimum number of bits required to represent an OPCODE? [opcbits] B.) What is the minimum number of bits required to represent a register? [regbits] C.) What is the maximum number of bits that can be used to represent the IMM value? [immbits] D.) What is the largest positive value in base 10 that can represented by the IMM value? [immval]

Consider the following table that represents part of the memory of a 16-bit address space that has an addressability of 2 bytes (like LC-3): ADDRESS CONTENTS … … 0x0C10 0101 0010 0111 1011 0x0C0F 0000 1000 1100 1101 0x0C0E 1011 0101 0000 1101 0x0C0D 0110 1010 0001 1111 0x0C0C 0100 0001 0101 0001 0x0C0B 0000 1100 0000 1110 … … The table above shows the addresses in hex (base 16) and the contents at the corresponding address in binary (base 2). A.) Interpret the contents at address 0x0C0C as two ASCII characters. [ascii] B.) Interpret the contents at the same address as A.) above as an unsigned integer in base 10. [unsigned] C.) Interpret the contents at address 0x0C0E as an LC-3 instruction to determine the operation.(Enter either ADD, JMP, LDR, or OTHER if it is not one of the first 3) [instr1] Recall that a memory location can store an address. We call that memory location’s contents a “pointer” since it’s an address that “points” to another memory location. D.) Interpret the contents at address 0x0C0B as a pointer.(Enter hex like the following example: 0x2A3F) [ptrvalue] E.) What are the contents of the memory location that the pointer above is pointing to?(Enter hex like the following example: 0x2A3F) [ptevalue]   REFERENCE: Partial Table of Hex to ASCII Characters: 20 sp 30 0 40 @ 50 P 60 ` 70 p 21 ! 31 1 41 A 51 Q 61 a 71 q 22 ” 32 2 42 B 52 R 62 b 72 r 23 # 33 3 43 C 53 S 63 c 73 s 24 $ 34 4 44 D 54 T 64 d 74 t Table of LC-3 Opcodes in Hex: ADD 0x1 JMP 0xC LDR 0x6

Consider the following 6-state finite state machine, where the states are labelled S1 – S6, the inputs are labelled 1 – 4 by the arrow’s tail, and the output is the letter under the state label: What is output when starting at state S6 and given the input sequence “4322”?The first letter is output from the starting state:[O1][O2][O3][O4][O5]
