You have postage for a 1 -oz letter but only a metric scale. What's the maximum mass your letter can have, in grams?
The human body contains about \(10^{14}\) cells, and the diameter of a typical cell is about \(10 \mu \mathrm{m}\) Like all ordinary matter, cells are made of atoms; a typical atomic diameter is \(0.1 \mathrm{nm}\). The volume of a cell is about \(10^{-10} \mathrm{m}^{3}\) b. \(10^{-15} \mathrm{m}^{3}\) c. \(10^{-20} \mathrm{m}^{3}\) d. \(10^{-30} \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
The diameter of a hydrogen atom is about \(0.1 \mathrm{nm},\) and the diameter of a proton is about 1 fm. How many times bigger than a proton is a hydrogen atom?
The distance to the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest large neighbor galaxy of our Milky Way, is about \(2.4 \times 10^{22} \mathrm{m} .\) Express this more succinctly using SI prefixes.
