If you stacked Avogadro's number of pennies one on top of the other on Earth's surface, how far would the stack extend (in km)?

[For comparison, the sun is about 150 million km from Earth and the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) is about 40 trillion km from Earth.]

Answer:

the length of pennies will be like the Proxima Centauri

Explanation:

50 pennies make the length of a meter, so :

50 pennies = 1 m

   x               = 1 km  

x= (50 x 1000) = 50 000 pennies = 1 Km

Then if the Avogadro´s number is 6.022 x 1023 so:

50 000 pennies = 1 km

6.022 x 1023 pennies = x

x= (6.022 x 1023/ 50 000) = 1.2044 x 1019

This big number is closer to the 40 trillion km of the Proxima Centauri.

Hope this answer is useful.

How gender and race are connected
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

There are many ways that classes of people differentiate themselves from others, but one of the most common ways is by race and/or community where there is a plurality of people. Those may be rather stereotypical pictures, but you get the idea. Diversity is awesome. One lifespan isn't enough to discover all the many forms human beings are and why.

The Southern Plains has a low-pressure system was strengthening and connected multiple fronts. The most distinguishable front dropping south-southwest through west Texas, was a cold front.

This setting favours the movement of cold air from the Arctic region.
