One liter () of oil is spilled onto a smooth lake. If the oil spreads out uniformly until it makes an oil slick of just one molecule thick, with adjacent molecule just touching, estimate the diameter of the oil slick. Assume the oil molecules have a diameter of.
I agree to hire you for 30 days. You can decide between two methods of payments: either (1) $1000 a day, or (2) one penny on the first day, two pennies on the second day, and continue to double your daily pay each day up to day 30. Use quick estimation to make your decision, and justify it.
Recent findings in astrophysics suggest that the observable universe can be modeled as a sphere of radiuswith an average total mass density of about. Only about 4% of total mass is due to 鈥渙rdinary鈥 matter (such as protons, neutrons, and electrons). Estimate how much ordinary matter (in kg) there is in the observable universe. (For the light- year, see the Problem19.)
