Textbook Question
Chapter 2.9, Problem 29AAP
The diameter of a soccer ball is approximately 0.279 m (11 in.). The diameter of the moon is 3.476 × 106 m. Give an “estimate” of how many soccer balls it will take to cover the surface of the moon (assume the moon is a sphere with a flat terrain). Compare this number to Avogadro’s number. What is your conclusion?

Measure the outside diameter of a flagpole or a street-light pole by first wrapping a piece of string around the object to determine its circumference. Why do you think the flagpole or the streetlight pole is designed to be thicker at the bottom near the ground than at the top? Explain your answer.
A woman wears bifocal glasses with the lenses 2.0 cm in front of her eyes. The upper half of each lens has power -0.500 diopter and corrects her far vision so that she can focus clearly on distant objects when looking through that half. The lower half of each lens has power +2.00 diopters and corrects her near vision when she looks through that half. (a) What are the far point and near point of her eyes? (b) While the woman is repairing a leaky pipe under her kitchen sink, she looks at close objects through the upper half of her bifocal lenses. What is the closest object that she can see clearly?

- You are considering purchasing a compact washing machine, and you have the following information: The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly electricity use of 350 kW-hrs, based on 8 loads of laundry being washed per week.

- Nanotechnology, the field of building ultrasmall structures one atom at a time, has progressed in recent years. One potential application of nanotechnology is the construction of artificial cells. The simplest cells would probably mimic red blood cells, the body’s oxygen transporters. Nanocontainers, perhaps constructed of carbon, could be pumped full of oxygen and injected into a person’s bloodstream. If the person needed additional oxygen—due to a heart attack or for the purpose of space travel, for example—these containers could slowly release oxygen into the blood, allowing tissues that would otherwise die to remain alive.
