You are not expected to know anything about particle physics to answer this question. The property called "frizz" has been invented for this question (so don't bother trying to look it up) although it is related to real physical quantities. You are expected to answer this question using only the tools of dimensional analysis. A newly discovered elementary particle called zippy has some interesting properties. We know that the radius zippy depends only on the mass of zippy, the speed of light, and a property of zippy called "frizz." The mass of zippy is 3.17 x 10-27 kg. The speed of light is 3.00 x 108 m/s. The frizz of zippy is 3.46 x 1022 s² / ( m³ kg) ... that says 3.46 x 1022 kg -1 -3 g? m We can estimate the radius of zippy is 1.0 x 10N meters. Which of the following is our best estimate for N?

You are not expected to know anything about particle physics to answer this question. The property called
"frizz" has been invented for this question (so don't bother trying to look it up) although it is related to real
physical quantities. You are expected to answer this question using only the tools of dimensional analysis.
A newly discovered elementary particle called zippy has some interesting properties. We know that the radius of
zippy depends only on the mass of zippy, the speed of light, and a property of zippy called "frizz."
The mass of zippy is 3.17 x 10-27 kg.
The speed of light is 3.00 x 108 m/s.
The frizz of zippy is 3.46 x 1022 s² / ( m³ kg)
that says 3.46 x 1022 kg¯1 m-3 s²
