Please help!!! Fermi Question, try to explain if possible! Here it is again
The mass of how many ford mustangs is equal to the mass of the water in the Atlantic ocean
Thank you so much!The mass of how many ford mustangs is equal to the mass of the water in the Atlantic ocean?It's impossible, given that the mass of Mustangs vary, and that the water evaporates continuously, so the water mass is unknown.
If I understood your question right...The mass of how many ford mustangs is equal to the mass of the water in the Atlantic ocean?This is pure order of magnitude. The oceans on Earth contain something like a billion cubic kilometers of water, which is about (10^9)(10^12) = 10^21 kilograms of water. Assume the Atlantic contains 10% of this, so 10^20 kilograms of water. A ford Mustang weighs about 1000 kilograms, so the Atlantic is at least 10^17 Ford Mustangs.
I made what is probably an underestimate (the Atlantic is only 10% of Earth's oceans) so the final answer is a bare minimum.
