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. :)

Which statements below are true?
Ilya [14]

The correct statements are that the speed decreases as the distance decreases and speed increases as the distance increases for the same time.

Answer:

Option A and Option B.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. So Speed = Distance/Time. In other words, we can also state that speed is directly proportional to the distance for a constant time. Thus, the speed will be decreasing as there is decrease in distance for the same time. As well as there will be increase in speed as the distance increases for the same time. So option A and option B are the true options. So if there is decrease in the distance due to direct proportionality the speed will also be decreasing. Similarly, if the distance increases, the speed will also be increasing.

Which of the following statements is an accurate description of sound transmission through various mediums?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: The accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is D.

Explanation:

Sound is longitudinal wave in which the vibration of particles travels parallel to the propagation of the motion of the wave. It requires a medium to travel. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Sound insulator prevents the sound to travel for example plastic, wood etc. Sound travels faster in solid medium than in liquid medium. Sound travels faster in liquid than in gas. Less elastic material absorbs sound for example paper in compare to inelastic material.

Therefore, the accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is "Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids.
