The Pioneer 10 spacecraft has left our Solar System and is traveling at a speed of 45,000 km/h (andhas been doing so for years). Explain why this object is moving so fast although it ran out of fuel longago.
Oxygen Atoms in People. Figure 5.7 shows that oxygen makes up about 65% of the mass of a human being. A single oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66 × 10−26 kg. (a) Use this fact to estimate the number of oxygen atoms in your body. (Hint: If you know your weight in pounds, you can convert to kilograms by dividing by 2.2.) (b) Compare your answer to the number of stars in the observable universe (which is roughly 1022).
