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. :)

Describe how you can see and feel sound waves
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sound is a vibration, or wave, that travels through the air. Sound waves are invisible to our eyes; unless we find a way to make the sound waves move something that we can see. In this activity, your child will use different noise-making objects to cause sound waves and make sand visibly move.

Sound wave can be described by five characteristics: Wavelength, Amplitude, Time-Period, Frequency and Velocity or Speed. The minimum distance in which a sound wave repeats itself is called its wavelength.

Explanation:

When the vibrating air hits your eardrum, it causes your eardrum to vibrate, just as the balloon did. These vibrations are transferred through the tiny bones in your ear to the inner ear. These vibrations are detected by nerves, which send impulses that your brain "hears" as sound.
