The human lungs have a volume of only about 4 L, yet an internal surface area of nearly 100 m2. Why is this important, and how is this possible?
An old English children’s rhyme states, “Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey, when along came a spider who sat down beside her. . . .”The spider sat down not because of the curds and whey but because Miss Muffet had a stash of 11 tuffets of dried flies. The volume measure of a tuffet is given by 1 tuffet = 2 pecks = 0.50 Imperial bushel, where 1 Imperial bushel =36.3687 liters (L). What was Miss Muffet’s stash in (a) pecks, (b) Imperial bushels, and (c) liters?

A handbook lists the density of aluminum as (2.7*10^3 kg/m^3). What is the total mass of the objectarrow_forwardOne of the unusual properties of water is that it expands as it freezes. As a result, ice is less dense than liquid water and floats atop it. Imagine that ice was denser than liquid water.

- "If C = -4i - 2j - 3k , what is C × j?"arrow_forwardSince 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?arrow_forwardThe habitable part of Earths surface has been estimated to cover 60 trillion square meters.
