Beautiful ! What a great exercise ! I won't even check to verify
that 1:10⁻¹⁹ is an appropriate scale to map the Milky Way onto a
football field. I'll just accept it and go from there.
(4.4 light years) x (10⁻¹⁹) = (2.5848 x 10¹³ miles) x (10⁻¹⁹)
= 2.5848 x 10⁻⁶ mile
= 0.164 inch .
(1,391,400 kilometers) x (10⁻¹⁹) = 1.3914 x 10⁻¹⁰ meter
Research Conclusions:
If the Milky Way shrinks to fit on a football field, then
-- Alpha Centauri is 0.164 inch from us.
-- The sun's diameter is about 1.39 times that of a Hydrogen atom.
Playing with this same fun concept a little more:
-- The Earth is sailing around in its orbit, once a year,
about 0.000015 millimeter from the sun.
-- It takes light almost 27 years to travel 1 inch !
wow !
Answer:
y = 4.5 x
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be 5866 because after it multiplied twice it would be at 8800 at that rate it would be gaining 1466.66 an hour so add that to 4400 and u get 5866
