Explain how some hail can become baseball sized

1 answer:

6 0

Basically, a droplet of water falls, freezes, and is blown back up over and over and over again without hitting the ground. Each time it keeps accumulating more water droplets that keep freezing to the growing hail stone. That's how all hail is formed. When the hail stone is too big for the winds to keep blowing it back up again, it falls. The stronger the updrafts, the bigger the hail will get before falling to the ground. That's why it takes a pretty powerful storm to make a big hail stone -- the winds have to be strong enough to blow an almost baseball-sized piece of ice back upward again for it to keep growing.

The number of cells in an average-sized adult human is on the order of 10^14 cells. Use this information, and the estimate that

KengaRu [80]

IF:
Number of cells: $C = 10^{14}$
DNA lenght: $D = 2m = 12.42 * 10^{-4} mi$
Distance from Earth to Sun: $ES=93000000 mi = 9.3* 10^{7}mi$

Then:
a) Over how many miles would the total DNA from the average human stretch?
The answer is product of multiplication of the number of cells (C) and the DNA length (D):
Total DNA: $T = C*D$
⇒ $T = 10^{14}*12.42* 10^{-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{14-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{10} mi$
The total DNA from the average human will stretch $12.42* 10^{10} mi$

b) How many times would the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back?
The answer is concluded from the ratio of the total DNA length (T) and the twice (because of stretch to the Sun and back, thus, two directions) of distance from Earth to the Sun (ES) and :
Ratio: $R= \frac{T}{2*ES}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}mi }{2*(9.3* 10^{7}mi)}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}}{18.6*10^{7}}$
⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{10-7}$
 ⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{3}$
 ⇒ [tex]R = 667.7
Thus, 667,7 times will the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back.
