the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?
Although human lung capacity is about 3 liters per lung, the tidal volume, representing the amount of air that is breathed in and out with each breath is much -3 less, typically about 250 cm7 per lung. The cycle of inhalation and exhalation during normal activity can be represented as a sine curve, as shown in the figure below, where the amount of air in each lung before inhalation begins is about 1.09 liters (the functional residual capacity of the lung) and the time on the horizontal axis has been calculated with the average adult breathing rate of 16 breaths per minute. Volume of air in lungs (L) 1.34 1.09 mm minimum height maximum height 15 We can model each lung as a cylinder of radius 5.95 cm in which one end cap is free to move up and down, increasing and decreasing the volume of the model lung during the breathing process. (a) Using the data above, calculate the minimum and maximum heights (in cm) of the model lung during the breathing process. (Round your answers to at least…
What is the square root of 1023? (Hints: 10 is an integer number. Integer numbers are exact, they don't have any uncertainty. The result however is going to be a real number. Computers approximate real numbers using floating point numbers. Floating point numbers have a given number of significant figures or digits. LON-CAPA typically expects 3, 4 or 5 digits. 2 or 1 is not enough, 6 or more is too many. Very large or very small numbers are expressed in scientific or exponential notation like the number above. Numbers in scientific notation are entered to computer software - like LON- CAPA as 1.23E15 or 1.23e15, for example; and 1.23E-15 or 1.23e-15, if the exponent is negative. If both the number and the exponent are negative, then you type -1.23E- 15 or -1.23e-15. On calculators the button is usually labelled as 'EE', but 'E' or 'EEX' or 'Exp' are also possible.)

NO NEED TO SHOW ANY WORK JUST FINAL ANSWER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! Incredibly, the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere that protects us from the ultraviolet rays of the Sun varies somewhat but, on the average, would be less than one centimeter thick if it were brought down to sea level. Given that the density of ozone at sea level would be about 2.0 grams per litre, what is the total amount of ozone (in Tonnes) in the upper atmosphere when its sea-level thickness is 0.22cm? Take the radius of the Earth to be 6400 km. (The volume of a thin skin around an object is the surface area of the object times the skin thickness.) Give your answer in gigatonnes, and do not specify units in the answer box.
