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.

<u>Answer:</u>

The model of graphing the "fall in sea level" with the "rise in sea level" can be used to "predict how changes in sea level" shape the Earth.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The cycle of rise and fall in the sea level repeats every fifteen days owing to the increase and decrease in the gravitational pull by the moon.
  • When the sea level increases, the coasts and lowlands submerge under the water and when the sea level decreases, more than what had submerged is exposed, thus changing the shape of the Earth.
