(a) There are about 3 × 10
25 molecules of air in each cubic meter of the atmosphere. If each
molecule had its own cube of space, what is the length of one side of the cube? (b) How many
times greater is the length of a side of the cube than the length of a molecule that is about 3 × 10
-10
m long?
Estimate how many molecules of air are in each 2.5-L breath you inhale that were also in the last breath Galileo took. [Hint: Assume the atmosphere is about 10 km high and of constant density.]
Express your answer using two significant figures.
N=?? (I got 27, but I was also wrong).
One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions:
a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg?
b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters.
c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube?
d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?

- A group of hikers uses a GPS while doing a 40-mile trek in Colorado. A curve fit to the data shows that their altitude can be approximated by the function y(t)=0.12t5−6.75t4+135t3−1120t2+3200t+9060 where y and t are expressed in feet and hours, respectively.

Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 01 C, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 15 cm. If we were to calculate the electric field made by that charge at the indicated distance, what would be the uncertainty in our calculation due only to the uncertainty in the size of q1?
