Can a millimeter be as wide as hair?
One millimeter is MUCH wider than a human hair. About 20 human hairs equals 1 millimeter.
240 meters is equal to how many microns?
One micron is one millionth of a meter, or 1/8th the width of a human hair. The measurement is used to determine particles in an air stream. Therefore 140 microns would be 140 millionths of a meter. For more details, Google ''Define: Micron''
Is a width of hair larger than a cell?
Yes, the width of a human hair is generally larger than a typical cell. Human hair can range from about 17 to 181 micrometers in diameter, while most cells, such as red blood cells, are about 6 to 8 micrometers wide. However, certain cells, like some types of bacteria, can be smaller than the width of human hair.
Can you show me or tell me an item that is 1 micron?
Whatever it is, if it measures 1,000th of a millimeter wide, it is 1 micron wide. Examples of some small measurements: A typical human hair is 100 microns wide (a 1/10th of a millimeter). A red blood cell is 7 microns wide (less than 1/100th of a millimeter). Here's a neat interactive video of small things for you: http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm A staphylococcus bacteria in the video looks to be just under 1 micron wide. Most viruses are much, much smaller still!
What unit of Mass measurement would you use to measure the thickness of a nose hair?
To measure the thickness of a nose hair, you would typically use micrometers (microns), which are one-millionth of a meter. This unit is appropriate as the diameter of a human hair is usually in the range of 50 to 100 microns. Using micrometers allows for precise measurement on such a small scale.
Is a millimeter as wide as a hair?
This is estimated to be 100 microns. There are 1000 microns in a millimetre. So in millimetres, a human hair is approx 0.1 millimetres in width.
What is the size of a human hair?
the diameter of human hair varies from about 40 microns to 120 microns. a micron or micrometer is a millionth of a meter. Copy paper thickness is about 100 microns (or 0.1 millimeter).
How would you measure width of hair?
For the diameter of hair the best unit is micrometre.
How big are diatoms?
Diatoms are microscopic. Diatoms range in size from about 2 microns to about 500 microns or equal to the width of a human hair.
What is the width of your hair?
While I was working in a cleanroom, I was always told that it was 50 microns (1/20 of a millimeter). However, I've heard numbers ranging from 20 µm to 100 µm.
How big is a strand of human hair?
The length of a strand of human hair can vary greatly depending on the person. However, the width of a human hair, in terms of how big it is, can measure anywhere from 40 microns to 120 microns. A micron is 1 millionth of a meter.
What metric measurement is a width of a hair?
a millimeter
What is the width of human hair in word notation when 0.0018 cm is in standard notation?
Eighteen thousandths of a millimeter. 0.0018 cm = 0.018 mm = 18 µm (micrometer) Human hair width actually ranges from 17 to 181 µm. 181 µm is almost .2 mm so you could say "about a fifth of a millimeter for coarse hair"
Can a millimeter be as wide as hair?
One millimeter is MUCH wider than a human hair. About 20 human hairs equals 1 millimeter.
What is the smallest particle size in microns that can be seen with the naked human eye?
Oh, dude, the smallest particle size visible to the naked human eye is around 40 microns. But like, who's really out here measuring particles with their eyeballs, am I right? Just stick to admiring the stars in the sky and leave the tiny stuff to the microscopes.
What is a width of a human hair?
The width of a human hair is 0.0018 cm.
The width of the smallest wire on a computer chip is typcially measured in?
The smallest wire on a chip is measured in microns. Current chips have wires that are less than one micron wide, while a human hair is about 100 microns thick.
