- (III) The smallest meaningful measure of length is called the Planck length, and is defined in terms of three fundamental constants in nature: the speed of light c the gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10-11 m³/kg•s², and Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10-34 kg·m²/s. The Planck length {p is given by the following combination of these three constants: 3.00 × 10° m/s, Gh lp Show that the dimensions of lp are length [L], and find the order of magnitude of lp. [Recent theories (Chapters 32 and 33) suggest that the smallest particles (quarks, leptons) are “strings" with lengths on the order of the Planck length, 10-35 m. These theories also suggest that the “Big Bang," with which the universe is believed to have begun, started from an initial size on the order of the Planck length.]arrow_forward(P2) Suppose two students are memorizing the elements on a list according to the rate of change equation: dL/dt = 0.5(1-L). L represents the fraction of the list that is memorized at any time t. (c) Suppose now that the list is infinitely long, like the decimal representation for π. In reality no one can memorize all the digits to π, but what does the rate of change equation predict will happen for a person who starts out not knowing any of the digits? That is, according to the rate of change equation, if L = 0 at time t = 0, is there ever a value of t for which L = 1?
