- There is relatively little space between atoms in solids and liquids, so that the average density of an atom is about the same as matter on a macroscopic scale - approximately 10^3 kg/m^3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius of about 10^-5m of that of the entire atom, and conatins nearly all mass of the atom. a) What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus. b) One possible remnant of a supernova, called a neutron star, can have the density of a nucleus, while being the size of a small city. What would be the raduis, in kilometers, of the neutron star with a mass 10 times that of the Sun? The radius of the Sun is 7*10^8 m and its mass is 1.99*10^30 kgarrow_forwardFor this problem, we want to estimate the answer, so our assumptions may be a little unrealistic. Suppose we want to estimate how much air we need to send to a space station, assuming we cannot recycle air. Suppose four astronauts are in a spherical space station. If each of them typically breathes about 500 cm³of air with each breathe, and take 15 breathes per minute (average resting value): a. What is the volume of air you would need in the space station if these four astronauts stayed for a full year? b. If the density of air is 1.25 kg/m³ and it costs (thanks to SpaceX) a mere $100/kg to send objects to the space station, how much money would the astronaut air supply cost?arrow_forwardS Can 6 PAR к Торс K Unit K In x K Moti = Cop K Unit S Spee S Topo S Math Micr eb.kamihq.com/web/viewer.html?source-filepicker&document_identifier=137VZR5BZOVSAIMOA55WU555_CvJ9NacO + 100 P e Interpreting Graphs Answer the questions following the graphs on each side Dietance va.
