(b) If one micrometeorite (a sphere with a diameter of 1.00 x 10-6 m) strikes each square meter of the Moon each second, how many years would it take to cover the Moon to a depth of 1.20 m? (Hint: Consider a box on the moon 1.00 m on a side and 1.20 m deep, and find how long it will take to fill the box.) Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. yr (b) If one micrometeorite (a sphere with a diameter of 1.00 x 10-6 m) strikes each square meter of the Moon each second, how many years would it take to cover the Moon to a depth of 1.20 m?
