How does the approximate number of atoms

Physics

Consider the Earth as a sphere. Think of the atmosphere as having a height of say about 20000 m. The volume of a sphere is 4/3 * pi * r ^3.
Find the volume of a sphere of radius 6020000 m and subtract the volume of the Earth which is a sphere of radius 6000000 m (approx).
This would be the volume of air in m^3.

Approximate the lungs as a cube, it would be approx 0.2m x 0.2m x 0.2 m = 0.008 m^3

Divide the volume of air around the Earth by 0.008.

0.001 m^3 of air contains about 6 x 10^23 molecules which is about 12 x 10^23 atoms.

If your lungs are 0.008 m^3 then that would be about 96 x 10 ^23 or about 10^25 atoms.

Compare that number with the earlier number when dividing air in the atmosphere by 0.008.

I hope this helps. :)

Why could you hold a stack of books on your head without pain, whereas it would hurt if someone put a small pebble between the b
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Both the cases deal with the principle of pressure due to force acting on an area.

Explanation:

When a stone is place between a pile of book and our head when we carry it then the area subjected to the force decreases while the magnitude of the force remains same and therefore the pressure on our head increases.

As we know that pressure is force per unit area is called pressure.

Mathematically:

Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}

It is easy to cut our skin with an edge of a paper because our skin is relatively softer than the edge of a paper and the edge of a paper is thin which applies more pressure due to  less area of contact with our skin.

If the star Alpha Centauri were moved to a distance 10 times farther than it is now, its parallax angle would
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

decrease by a factor 10

Explanation:

The parallax angle of a close star is given by

p=\frac{1}{d}

where

p is the parallax angle

d is the distance of the star from Earth, in parsecs

From the formula we see that the parallax angle is inversely proportional to the distance.

In this problem, the distance of the star is increased by a factor 10:

d' = 10 d

so the new parallax angle would be

p'=\frac{1}{10 d}=\frac{1}{10}\frac{1}{d}=\frac{p}{10}

So, the parallax angle would decrease by a factor 10.

Imagine you are sitting on a sled and someone is about to push you down a hill. Which statement is accurate?
Dima020 [189]

The answer is:

Forces acting on the sled are paired with equal and opposite forces.

The explanation:

About to push you, this means that he doesn't push yet. If the sled is on level ground and no one is pushing it, then forces are equal and opposite.

The gravity force pulls down and the ground pushes up.

This is Newton's third law:

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.

This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

We can also see Newton’s third law at work by taking a look at how people move about. Consider a swimmer pushing off from the side of a pool.

Beam design what is the maximum code-allowable floor beam deflection under the given live load?
Irina18 [472]

According to I.S. standards, the maximum deflection should typically not be greater than 1/325 of the span.

<h3>What is Beam deflection?</h3>

A beam is a long segment of a body that can support a weight while defying bending. Beam deflection is the term for the movement of a beam when a force is applied to it in a certain direction.

The beam has the ability to be bent or shifted from its initial position. The deflection is represented by this distance along each member point.

The amount of displacement that a certain structural member may experience with the aid of a sizable amount of load is known as deflection. It may also be known as the angle or the separation. The slope of the deflected form of the body under a load directly influences the distance of deflection of a member under that force.

To know more about Beam deflection:
