Part B: Which is the more reasonable measurement of the diameter of a human hair:

1.8 ⋅ 10−2 mm or 1.8 ⋅ 102 mm? Justify your answer. (5 points)

Answer:

6.045 * 10 ^40 ergs

1.8 * 10^-2 mm

Explanation:

3.9 ⋅ 10^33 erg per second * 1.55 * 10 ^7 seconds

3.9 * 1.55 * 10^(33+7)

6.045 * 10 ^40 ergs

Human hair is around .1 mm thick

.1 = 1 * 10 ^ -1

This is closer to 1.8 * 10^-2

1.8 *10^2 = 180 mm which is too thick This is approximately 18 cm
