It has been suggested that an asteroid, that when striking the Earth, vaporized a large quantity of soil, rocks, including itself. This resulted in a layer of material settling out relatively uniformly over the surface of the globe. Current evidence indicates 22% of the mass of the asteroid turned to dust and resulted in about 0.022 g/cm2 of the Earth’s surface being covered. A. If the asteroid had a density about 2.0 g/ cm^3 and the area of the Earth is 510.1 trillion m^2 calculate the mass of the asteroid.
B. Calculate the radius of the asteroid. What shape would you have to assume the asteroid is to do this?

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
