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.

Which mountain’s name translates to shining mountain?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Kilimanjaro

Explanation:

The name of Africa's tallest peak (19,341 feet above sea level) comes from two local languages: Swahili and Chagga. When combined, the words translate to "Shining Mountain" or "White Mountain." Alternate names given to Kilimanjaro throughout history translate to "Mountain Where Birds Cannot Fly" and "Mountain of Silver Moons." The Chagga people believe that a spirit lives atop the peak and will cause sickness to some who climb. Anthropologists think this is likely their method for explaining altitude sickness, caused by attempting to climb Kilimanjaro too quickly.
