Chapter 13, Problem 4RQ
A growing field of inquiry that poses both great promise and greet risk for humans is nanotechnology, the construction of extremely small machines. Over the past couple of decades the size that a working gear can be made has consistently gotten smaller. The table shows milestones along this path.
- a. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog or log–log) to make the data appear linear.
- b. According to this model, how many years does it take (from any point in time) for the minimum size to be cut in half?
- c. According to the model during what year will the smallest gear be one-tenth the size of the smallest gear in 2009?
