Question

• The light-year (ly) is a unit of distance commonly used in astronomy. It is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in
one year. (a) Express 1 ly in km. (b) Express the speed of light, c, in
units of ly per year. (c) Express the speed of light in feet per nanosecond

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.

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.
A two-legged robot is programmed so that upon switching it on, it will do a repetitivepair of steps: one step towards east and then one step towards north, with each stepcorresponding to equal lengths. If after 1000 making pairs of steps, the robot can befound at 956.8 m , 45 degrees NE, what is the length of each step
this is very confusing.

The bacterium Escherichia coli (or E. coli) is a single-celled organism thatlives in the gut of healthy humans and animals. Its body shape can be modeled as a 2-μm-long cylinder with a 1 μm diameter, andit has a mass of 1 x 10-12 g. Its chromosome consists of a single double-stranded chain of DNA 700 times longer than its body length. The bacterium moves at a constant speed of 20 μm/s, though not always in thesame direction. Answer the following questions about E. coli using SI base units (unless specifically requested otherwise) and correct significant figures.a. What is its length?b. Diameter?c. Mass?d. What is the length of its DNA, in millimeters?e. If the organism were to move along a straight path, how many meters would it travel in one day?
