Suppose your hair grows at the rate 1/32 inches everyday. Find the rate at which grows in nano meters per second. Because the distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of .1nm, your answer suggests how rapidly layers of atoms are assembled in protein synthesis.



Answer :

1/32 inches per day * 1day/ 24hours * 1hour/ 60minutes * 1minute /60seconds * 0.0254meter / 1inch *  1 000 000 000 nanometers/ 1meter= 9.19nanometers per second

Why is this it is because we are given that 1/32 inches grow per day so the need fisrt it transform day into hours, hours into minutes and minutes into seconds to get the growth in inches per second. Then we need to find it in nanometers so we transform inches into meter and meters into nanometers...Hoped it helped...
