since your only allowed to answer in 3 sub parts please answers questions 2 at a time in each subpart please !!!
4.The average distance from Earth to everyone's favorite dwarf planet, Pluto, is 3.27 billion miles. At the speed of 25,054 miles per hour, how long would it take to reach Pluto? Give your answer in years.
5.Space travel is expensive! For their trip to the Moon, the Apollo astronauts' living quarters were only 213 cubic feet (that's smaller than a typical small bathroom in a house). How many dollar bills could fit in there?
A dollar bill's dimensions are: length: 6.14 inches, width: 2.61 inches, thickness: 0.0043 inches
6.The current US debt as of 8/23/21 was about $28.7 trillion. Calculate how far a stack of dollar bills in this amount would reach in miles. Assume the dollar bills are being stacked laying flat. show your work. Make sure to include units in your work
7.The current US debt as of 8/31/20 was about $26.7 trillion. Using the distance you found in the previous questions, would a stack of dollar bills in the amount of the U.S. national debt reach from the Earth to the Moon?
8.Pluto has been hard to measure from Earth because of its atmosphere. In 2007 Young, Young, and Buie measured Pluto as having a diameter of 2322 km. In 2015 the New Horizons probe reached Pluto and measured it up close and we now know the actual diameter is 2372 km. What was the percent error of the 2007 measurement? Enter your answer as a percent, with a negative value if the 2007 measurement was too small and a positive value if it was too large.

- 4. Use the composite trapezoidal and Simpson's rule, each with step length h = 0.2, to estimate x²edx, and compare your results with the analytical solution I = + Arctan 5 - 7.arrow_forwardA funambulist (a circus performer who walks across tightropes high above an audience) walks across a 45-foot-long tightrope in 1.5 minutes. Remembering that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, find the funambulist’s average speed in feet per second.arrow_forwardRecall that a mile is equal to 1.6093 kilometers. If a runner can maintain an average pace of400 meters every 127 seconds, how many hours will it take the runner to complete ahalf-marathon, which is a 13.1-mile race?arrow_forward
