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).
The Earth has a diameter of approximately 12742 km and a
mass of approximately 5.972 × 1024 kg. Assuming the Earth to
be a sphere and approximately made from a unifom material,
find the average density of the Earth. (State your answer to an
appropriate number of significant figures.)

In 1998, the Mars Climate Orbiter probe crashed into the surface of Mars, instead of entering orbit. The resulting inquiry revealed that NASA navigators had been making minor course corrections in Sl units, whereas the software written by the probe's makers implicitly used British units. In the United States, most scientists use Sl units, whereas most engineers use the British, or Imperial, system of units. (Interestingly, British units are not used in Britain.) For these two groups to be able to communicate to one another, unit conversions are necessary. The unit of force in the SI system is the newton (N), which is defined in terms of basic Sl units as 1N=1 kg -m/s?. The unit of force in the British system is the pound (lb), which is defined in terms of the slug (British unit of mass), foot (ft), and second (s) as 1 lb = 1 slug · ft/s?.…arrow_forward
