Assume your hair grows at a rate of 1/44th of an inch per day. How fast is that in nm/s (nanometers per second)? Given that a typical atom is on the order of 1 x 10^(-10) m in diameter (see Table 1.3 on page 18 of the textbook), at approximately what rate does the protein synthesis that assembles your hair strands deposit atoms in units of atoms per second? I need the second question to be rounded to 1 significant digit.

To measure the perimeter of a triangle, the lengths of sides AB, BC and CA are measured using a caliper with a resolution of 0.05 mm. Performing a single measurement for AB, BC and CA, the values AB= 50.20 mm are read; BC= 55.15 mm and CA= 40.65 mm. Determine the perimeter (P) of the triangle with its uncertainty (uP) and express the result in m. a) P±uP= (0.146000 ± 0.000050) m b) P±uP= (146,000 ± 0.050)x10-2 m c) P±uP= (146.00 ± 0.05)x10-3 m d) P±uP= (0.146 ± 0.050) m e) P±uP= (146.0 ± 0.05) m
