Question

If each chip has a length of 35 nanometers (nm), how many would you need to circle the Earth. Which has a radius of 6,371 km? (Show all your workings. Final answer MUST be in scientific notation.)

Answer 1

Answer:

1144.18 e-12 chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversation rate of nanometers

1 nanometers =1* 10^-12 km

35 nanometers= 35 *10^-12

Radius of earth= 6371 km

Circumference of earth = 2πr

Circumference= 2*22/7*6371

Circumference=40046.29 km

The number of chips to be used to circle the earth

= 40046.29/35 *10^-12

=1144.18 *10^-12

= 1144.18 e-12 chips
