Question
Estimate the number of nucleons found in the body of a 75-kg person.
Step 1
First, we need to find the number of atoms in the body. To do this, we can use the average atomic mass of the human body, which is approximately 12 atomic mass units (amu) per atom. This is because the human body is mostly composed of elements like carbon, Show more…
