A probe that can handle a temperature of x million degrees costs x³ million dollars. a. How much would it cost to measure the temperature 10,000 km down? b. How much would it cost to measure the temperature 100,000 km down? c. How much would it cost to measure the temperature 200,000 km down?
1. Calculate the angle a person needs to lean from the vertical when
1. walking a 14 m (radius) circular track at 22 mins per mile, and
Enter to 2 significant figures
Angle with respect to the vertical = 0.85
X
No, that's not the correct answer.
O
2. running at 4 min per mile.
Enter to 2 significant figures
Angle with respect to the vertical = 6.8
Use 1 mile = 1609.4 m
Sense-making: Do your results for the leaning angle during walking agree with your observations
