Figure 5.7 shows that oxygen makes up about 65% of the mass of a human being. A single oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66 × 10−26 kg. (a) Use this fact to estimate the number of oxygen atoms in your body. (Hint: If you know your weight in pounds, you can convert to kilograms by dividing by 2.2.) (b) Compare your answer to the number of stars in the observable universe (which is roughly 1022).arrow_forwardThe Drake equation In 1961 astronomer Frank Drakedeveloped an equation to try to estimate the number ofextraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy that might be able to communicate with us via radio transmissions. Nowlargely accepted by the scientific community, the Drakeequation has helped spur efforts by radio astronomers tosearch for extraterrestrial intelligence. Here is the equation: NC = N # fp # ne # fl# fi# fc # fLOK, it looks a little messy, but here’s what it means:So, how many ETs are out there? That depends; valueschosen for the many factors in the equation depend onever-evolving scientific knowledge and one’s personalguesses. But now, some questions.a) What quantity is calculated by the first product, N # fp?b) What quantity is calculated by the product, N # fp # ne # fl?c) What probability is calculated by the product fl# fi?d) Which of the factors in the formula are conditionalprobabilities?
