Computer chips (Fig. 1–13) etched on circular silicon wafers of thickness 0.300 mm are sliced from a solid cylindrical silicon crystal of length 25 cm. If each wafer can hold 100 chips, what is the maximum number of chips that can be produced from one entire cylinder?
Multiply the number of chips per wafer times the number of wafers that can be made from a cylinder.

- A sidewalk is to be constructed around a swimming pool that measures (10.0 0.1) m by (17.0 0.1) m. If the sidewalk is to measure (1.00 0.01) m wide by (9.0 0.1) cm thick, what volume of concrete is needed and what is the approximate uncertainty of this volume?arrow_forwardRoughly how many heartbeats are there in a lifetime?arrow_forwardState how many significant figures are proper in the results of the following calculations: (a) (106.7)(98.2)/(46.210)(1.01) (b) (18.7)2 (c) (1.601019)(3712)arrow_forward

Other students measure the thickness with vernier calipers and obtain four different measurements: (a) 4.32 cm 0.01 cm. (b) 4.31 cm 0.01 cm, (c) 4.24 cm 0.01 cm, and (d) 4.43 cm 0.01 cm. Which of these four measurements, if any, agree with that obtained by the first student?arrow_forwardA building 200 ft tall is 300 ft by 500 ft in cross section. If all four sides of the building are to be covered with a single layer of bricks, estimate how many would be required (to one significant figure). Assume each brick is 3 in by 6 in by some depth d and ignore windows or other openings. O 5 x 104 bricks 3 x 106 bricks O 1 x 106 bricks O 4 x 104 bricks O 2 x 106 bricksarrow_forward
- The common Eastern mole, a mammal, typically has a mass of 75 g, which corresponds to about 7.5 moles of atoms. (A mole of atoms is 6.02 * 1023 atoms.) In atomic mass units (u), what is the average mass of the atoms in the common Eastern mole?arrow_forwardOne mole of atoms consists of 6.02 × 1023 individual atoms. If one mole of unicorn atoms were spread uniformly over the surface of a sphere the size of the Earth, approximately how many atoms would be found per square meter? The average radius of the Earth is 6.38 × 103 km. how do I set up this unit conversion?arrow_forwardA pyramid has a square base of side x and height h.
