Question

Suppose your hair grows at the rate of 1/55 inch per day. Find the rate at which it grows in nanometers per second. Because the distance between atoms in a molecule is on the order of 0.1 nm, your answer suggests how rapidly atoms are assembled in this protein synthesis.

    Answer:5.35nm

    Explanation:

    Consider that 1 inch is = 0.0254m

    we have,

    1m= 1×10^9 nm  

    While:

    0.0254m = 2.54×10^7nm  

    1/55 (2.54×10^7) = 4.6181 x 10^5nm  

    1 day= 24 hrs  

    = (24×60) when calculating in min  

    = (24x60x60) calculating in seconds we have:

    = 8.64×10⁴sec  

    In 8.64×10^4 seconds, the hair grows by 4.6181 x 10^5nm

    Therefore, the amount by which the hair grows in 1 second  will be;

    = (4.6181 x 10^5)/(8.64×10^4)  

    = 5.35nm  

    The rate of growth will be 5.35nm
