(a) A unit of time sometimes used in microscopic physics is the shake. One shake equals 108 s. Are there more shakes in a second than there are seconds in a year? (b) Humans have existed for about 106 years, whereas the universe is about 1010 years old. If the age of the universe is defined as 1 “universe day,” where a universe day consists of “universe seconds” as a normal day consists of normal seconds, how many universe seconds have humans existed?
In the movie Interstellar, the main characters are on a planet where 1 hour = 7 years on Earth. If you are 30 years old on Earth how many hours have passed by on the planet?
The distance around the Earth's equator is 40,077 kilometers, and the population of the United States
in 1,950 was approximately 150,000,000 people. If this many people were spaced equally around the
equator, what would be the length of the space each person would have to the nearest centimeter?
The approximate length the space would be
cm.
