Please answer question and just send me the paper solutions asap dont type the answer
And draw the picture too and show steps no need to explain and write let statement and those stuff and use this formula only if need and use 9.81 not 9.8
Can someone please help explain the answers again? This is a bit confusing.
For the remaining questions, you need to use Figure 1.4 to obtain the necessary orders of magnitude of lengths, masses, and times.(a) Calculate the number of cells in a hummingbird assuming the mass of an average cell is 10 times the mass of a bacterium. (b) Making the same assumption, how many cells are there in a human?
