1.1 Assignment: Powers of Ten Lab
Directions
:
Use the following website:
Secret Worlds: The Universe Within.
Scientists look at things in very particular ways using sophisticated equipment, everyday
instruments, and unlikely tools. Some things that scientists want to see are so small that they
need a magnifying glass, or a microscope. Other things are so far way that they need a powerful
telescope in order to see them. It is important to understand and be able to compare the size of
things we are studying.
Exponential notation is a way scientists write very large or very small numbers. For
example, when the Earth is seen at 10
+6
meters wide, this number represents
1,000,000 meters. When a nucleus of a cell is seen at 10
-6
meters wide, this number
represents one millionth of a meter, or 0.000001 meters. Notice how each picture in this
simulation is an image of something that is 10 times bigger or smaller than the one
before or after it. The number on the right is the size of what is seen in the picture. The
number on the left is the same number written in powers of ten, or
exponential
notation
.
In this simulation, you will first view the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the
Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in single order of magnitudes until
you reach an oak tree just outside the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in
Tallahassee, Florida. Then begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into the
microscopic world through leaf cell walls, cell nucleus, DNA and finally, into the
subatomic universe of electrons and protons.
You will then manually reverse the
direction, moving from smallest to largest value, as you log your power of ten journey.
Activity
:
Log your "Power of Ten" journey into the universe by completing this table describing
your journey. Hopefully, you will be able to appreciate the powers of ten used in
exponential notation and learn a few metric prefixes along the way.
Start small and
manually move to the larger Exponential values.
Have a safe journey!

Challenges to Space Exploration a) We can round numbers to say light (and all electromagnetic radiation: radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, etc.) travels at approximately 3x108 m/s. At its closest approach, Mars is about 0.5 au of the Earth. At this distance, how long would it take for an astronaut on Mars to communicate with Mission Control on Earth? Give your answer in minutes. Explain why Mars rovers have entire sequences for travel pre-programmed and uploaded all at once rather than being driven around in real time with a joystick.

Question B2
[This question will required roughly two single-sided A4 pages to answer.]
A binary star system consists of two stars that revolve about their centre of mass in circular
orbits. Suppose that the system is observed edge on. Because of Doppler shift the spectral lines
from the two stars (known as a spectroscopic binary system) are observed to shift periodically
about a mean to shorter and longer wavelengths as each star moves towards or away from the
observer.
a) Explain how the orbital period Porb and components of velocity along the line of sight 10,1
and v0.2, for each star, can be found from the observed spectral lines.
b) Explain how the velocities of the two stars, v₁ and v2, and the angular velocity of the stars
w can be determined.
c) Denoting a₁ and a2 as the distances of the two stars from the centre of mass, respectively,
find a relationship between the ratio of the masses of the two stars (M₁ and M2), ratio of
distances from centre of mass, and ratio of…

Part 1. Stellar Mass Black Holes
These are the collapsed cores of massive stars which end their life in supernova explosions. The
stellar core can no longer use nuclear fusion to hold up the immense gravity, and collapses until
its escape velocity rises higher than the speed of light. Voila! A black hole is formed.
Part A: The Schwarzschild Radius
The Schwarzschild Radius is defined as:
2GM
(1)
=
c2
where r, is the Schwarzschild radius, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the black
hole, and c is the speed of light.
1. Let's say we have a black hole with a mass 10 times that of the Sun (the Sun's mass is 2 x
1030 kg, so the mass of the black hole is then 2 x 1031 kg). Using the definitions for G and
c, what would the Schwarzschild radius of this black hole be?
2. If the radius of the Sun is 7 x 108 m, how does the black hole's radius compare? (Divide
the radius of the Sun by the Schwarzschild radius). Your answer should be in the form of
times smaller/bigger than the…

hding Light Years
26.1
How far is it from Los Angeles to New York? Pretty far, but it can still be measured in miles or
kilometers. How far is it from Earth to the Sun? It's about one hundred forty-nine million, six hundred thousand
kilometers (149,600,000, or 1.496 x 10 km). Because this number is so large, and many other distances in space
are even larger, scientists developed bigger units in order to measure them. An Astronomical Unit (AU) is
4:496x 108 km (the distance from Earth to the sun). This unit is usually used to measure distances within our
solar system. To measure longer distances (like the distance between Earth and stars and other galaxies), the light
year (ly) is used. A light year is the distance that light travels through space in one year, or 9.468 x 1012 km.
