When I play 20 questions people ask "is it bigger than a breadbox?" but I don't know what to say because I don't know how big a breadbox is and it really bothers me. Please help! How come everyone else knows stuff like this but not me??? Was I absent that day a school or what???

Bigger than a Breadbox?

The Universe is a very big place and it contains some very big objects. In many images scientists create from data, it is difficult to understand the actual sizes of the objects. In this activity, we want to understand the extent (or size) of some supernova remnants. We will do this by applying a simple physics equation.

In physics, we know that velocity = distance traveled / time it takes to travel that distance.

v=d/t or d=vt

For this activity, we know that the distance (d) traveled is equivalent to the distance from the initial or central star of the supernova remnant, to the edge of the outer material of the remnant. In addition, we know the velocity (v) at which the material of each remnant is expanding outward, and understand that as the remnant gets older the velocity slowly decreases. Lastly, we know how long ago (t) the initial star blew up in a supernova explosion.

Use this information, and the following data to determine the biggest supernova remnant among those listed below. Be careful with the dimensional analysis!

Data:

Cygnus Expansion Velocity = 1,450 km/sec Age = 20,000 years

Crab Expansion Velocity = 1,500 km/sec Age = 943 years

Tycho Expansion Velocity = 5,200 km/sec Age = 425 years

SN1006 Expansion Velocity = 3,000 km/sec Age = 990 years

A bread box is just a little larger than a shoe box.
Approximately 6 inches by 12 inches. It has to be big enough to get a giant loaf of bread into it.

The ones that I have seen are about 18 inches by 9 by 9. They hold several loaves of bread.

big enough for the bread to fit

Different sizes. It is large enough for one or two loaves unless it is for commercial use.

My Grandma's is about the size of those small Microwave ovens.
