A single penny is 1.52 mm thick. The distance to the next nearest star other than our own (Alpha Centauri) is 4.22 light-years.

If it were possible to stack one mole of pennies, how many times would the stack go between the earth and Alpha Centauri? Use the unit factoring method to determine the answer and show your work. You will need to find or look up the appropriate conversion factors to solve the problem. Your answer should be in scientific notation and have the correct number of significant figures in order to get full credit. (Please note that the text editing functions/buttons below for this essay question allows you to show exponents by using the button show as "x2"in the controls. To use it type the number followed by the exponent such as 104, highlight the 4 and hit the x2 button and you will end up with 104 as the result)

Answer:

2.29 × 10⁴ times

Explanation:

A single penny is 1.52 mm thick. The distance covered by 1 mole of pennies (6.02 × 10²³ pennies) is:

6.02 × 10²³ p × (1.52 mm/1 p) = 9.15 × 10²³ mm = 9.15 × 10²³ × 10⁻³ m = 9.15 × 10²⁰ m

The distance to the next nearest star other than our own (Alpha Centauri) is 4.22 light-years. Considering 1 ly = 9.46 × 10¹⁵ m, this distance in meters is:

4.22 ly × (9.46 × 10¹⁵ m/1 ly) = 3.99 × 10¹⁶ m

The times that the stack would go between the earth and Alpha Centauri are:

9.15 × 10²⁰ m / 3.99 × 10¹⁶ m = 2.29 × 10⁴

The boiling point of h2o (100 oc) is higher than the boiling point of h2s (-61 oc) because
aksik [14]
Water has hydrogen bonds between Hydrogen atoms (that are slightly positive in molecules of water ) and Oxygen atoms (that are slightly negative in molecules of water), so it is necessary more energy to break them down and move water molecules from liquid state to gas.

Describe how you could prove that a bicycle is matter
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space.

To prove that a bicycle is a matter, we need to show that it has weight and will occupy space.

When you put the bicycle on a weighing scale, you will see the weight of the bicycle. This a proof that bicycle is a matter.

To show that the bicycle can occupy space, place the device in a tank full of water. From the tank, the bicycle will displace some water. Substances that cannot occupy space will not behave in such manner.
