the average mass of an atom in the bacterium is ten times the mass of a
hydrogen atom. (Hint: The mass of a hydrogen atom is on the order of 1027

f) Conversations with astronauts on the lunar surface were characterized
by a kind of echo in which the earthbound persons voice was so loud in the
the echo time equals the time necessary for the radio wave to travel from the
Earth to the Moon and back (that is, neglecting any time delays in the
electronic equipment). Calculate the distance from Earth to the Moon given

d) A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.26 calculate
the force the seatbelt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a
halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg. Would the answer to this
question be different if the car with the 70kg passenger had collided with a
car that has a mass equal to and is traveling in the opposite direction and
