NO NEED TO SHOW ANY WORK JUST FINAL ANSWER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! Incredibly, the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere that protects us from the ultraviolet rays of the Sun varies somewhat but, on the average, would be less than one centimeter thick if it were brought down to sea level. Given that the density of ozone at sea level would be about 2.0 grams per litre, what is the total amount of ozone (in Tonnes) in the upper atmosphere when its sea-level thickness is 0.22cm? Take the radius of the Earth to be 6400 km.
(The volume of a thin skin around an object is the surface area of the object times the skin thickness.) Give your answer in gigatonnes, and do not specify units in the answer box.
Solve the following problem. Round off the final answer to three decimal places.
A popular web site state that a 200 pound person will burn 450 calories/hour bicycling
(moderate effort) and 650 calories/hour rock climbing (ascending). A 150 pound person
decides to start a training routine in which she will bicycle for 45 minutes, 3 times a week and
rock climb for 1.50 hours every weekend. How many calories will she have burned after 8 weeks
of training (assuming she consumes at the same rate)?

The log(mg kg1) for one soil sample (that is, the Sn content in [mg Sn (kg soil)*1], is found to be log(mg kg1) = 2.22. What is the tin content of the soil in [mg Sn (kg soil)-²]? Your Answer: Answer unitsarrow_forwardSome amount of heat energy is removed from a 9cm X 26cm X 46cm block of ice to cool from 0ºC to -26ºC. (Hint: to find mass, use the relation between, density, mass and volume) Calculate the following: a) The mas of ice cube in grams (density of ice = 920 kg/m3). b) The temperature difference in kelvin b) The energy removed from ice in calories .

O 1.3 J O 13,395,200J O 13J O 1,340 Jarrow_forwardThe recommended daily caloric intake is 2000 calories (8,400,000J). This is because this is the same value for how much the average body loses to heat and work in a typical day (your change in energy is zero because you take in the same amount of energy you lose). A) If you lose a total of 8,400,000J (Qout+W=total lost), but consume 1200 calories of food (5,000,000J), what would your change in energy be? B) Assuming your change in energy is negative (hint-it should be), where does your body get the extra energy to maintain it's temperature?arrow_forward
