In US usage, nickel is a five cent coin, struck by the United States Mint. It is composed of 75% copper, and 25% nickel, and is issued since 1866. It has a diameter of 21.21mm or 0.835 inch, and a thickness of 1.95mm or 0.077inch. To make a bunch of coins, tall 100 inches, we'll need 1299 coins, when it's the case, with five cents coins. Quarter, for example, has different dimensions, as well as thickness, so the number of coins will be different.

The number of nickels coins that are needed to made a stack of 100 inches tall is \boxed{1299}.

Further explanation:

Given:

The stack of nickels is 100 inches tall.

Explanation:

\boxed{1{\text{ dime}} = \$ 0.10}.

\boxed{1{\text{ dime}} = \$ 0.10}.

\boxed{1{\text{ quarter}} = \$ 0.25}.

A nickel is 5 cents.

The nickel is a cylindrical shape coin.

The thickness or height of the nickel coin is 0.077{\text{ inch}}.

The diameter of the nickel coin is 0.835{\text{ inch}}.

The radius of the nickel coin can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Radius}} &= \frac{{0.835}}{2}\\&= 0.4175{\text{ inches}} \\\end{aligned}

The number of nickels coins that are needed to made a stack of 100 inches tall can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Number of coins}} \times {\text{thickness of coin}} &= 100{\text{ inches}} \\n\times 0.077 &= 100\\n&= \frac{{100}}{{0.077}} \\n&= 1298.70\\n &= 1299\left( {{\text{approximately}}} \right) \\\end{aligned}

The number of nickels coins that are needed to made a stack of 100 inches tall is \boxed{1299}.

NeX [460]

Answer:

An atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds a planet.

Explanation:

The definition above is exactly what an atmosphere is.

All planets have atmospheres, of varying compositions depending on the location of the planet, the distance from the star they go round, the composition of the planet itself, and the presence or not of other celestial bodies nearby like moons or large asteroids.

Mars for example, has a very thin atmosphere, something that makes it hard for life to prosper in the red planet (so far, we have no evidence of life in Mars), and also makes it very cold, because atmospheres also act as mitigators of planetary climates.
