How many heartbeats are there in a lifetime?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The heartbeats in a lifetime is \(3.322 \times {10^9}{\rm{ beats}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Average life:

The average life of a person according to the world health organization \({\bf{2015}}\)report is \({\rm{79 years}}\).

02

conversion of units:

Conversion of \({\rm{79 years}}\) into minutes.

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{79 years}} = {\rm{79 years}} \times \frac{{365{\rm{ days}}}}{{1{\rm{ year}}}}\\ = \left( {{\rm{79}} \times 365} \right){\rm{ days}} \times \left( {\frac{{24{\rm{ hr}}}}{{1{\rm{ day}}}}} \right)\\ = \left( {{\rm{79}} \times 365 \times 24} \right){\rm{ hr}} \times \left( {\frac{{{\rm{60 min}}}}{{1{\rm{ hr}}}}} \right)\\ = 41522400{\rm{ min}}\end{array}\)

03

The heartbeats in a lifetime:

A heart beats in a minute is\(80\)times. Therefore in\({\rm{79 years}}\), it will beat,

\(\begin{array}{c}{\rm{Heart beats}} = 41522400{\rm{ min}} \times {\rm{80 }}{{{\rm{beats}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\rm{beats}}} {{\rm{min}}}}} \right.} {{\rm{min}}}}\\ = 3.322 \times {10^9}{\rm{ beats}}\end{array}\)

Hence, the heartbeats in a lifetime is \(3.322 \times {10^9}{\rm{ beats}}\).

When non-metric units were used in the United Kingdom, a unit of mass called the pound-mass\(\left( {{\bf{lbm}}} \right)\)was employed, where\({\bf{1}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{lbm}} = {\bf{0}}.{\bf{4539}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{kg}}\). (a) If there is an uncertainty of\({\bf{0}}.{\bf{0001}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{kg}}\)in the pound-mass unit, what is its percent uncertainty? (b) Based on that percent uncertainty, what mass in pound-mass has an uncertainty of\({\bf{1}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{kg}}\)when converted to kilograms?

(a) If your speedometer has an uncertainty of 2.0 km/hat a speed of 90 km/h, what is the percent uncertainty? (b) If it has the same percent uncertainty when it reads 60 km/h, what is the range of speeds you could be going?

Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium. Assume that the average mass of an atom in the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom. (Hint: The mass of a hydrogen atom is on the order of 10-27kg and the mass of a bacterium is on the order of 10-15kg.)

The sides of a small rectangular box are measured to be \({\bf{1}}.{\bf{80}} \pm {\bf{0}}.{\bf{01}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{cm}}\), \({\bf{2}}.{\bf{05}} \pm {\bf{0}}.{\bf{02}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{cm}}\), and \({\bf{3}}.{\bf{1}} \pm {\bf{0}}.{\bf{1}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{cm}}\) long. Calculate its volume and uncertainty in cubic centimeters

(a) How far apart are two layers of tissue that produce echoes having round-trip times (used to measure distances) that differ by \[{\rm{0}}{\rm{.750 \mu s}}\]? (b) What minimum frequency must the ultrasound have to see the detail of this small?
