Answer:
(c) more than 500
Explanation:
Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.
That's a molecule of the substance. You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original 'compound'.
Here's an example:
-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.
-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.
When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride". That's SALT ! It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)
We know the mass (2.5 g). We need to find the volume.
The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.
Volume = (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)
= (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)
= (π) (148.1 mm³)
= 465.3 mm³
We know the volume now. So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have. Here it is:
mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³ = 0.0054 g/mm³ .
Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.
(0.0054 g/mm³) x (10 mm / cm)³
= (0.0054 x 1,000) g/cm³
= 5.37 g/cm³ .
This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.
Light travels in straight lines. Once a light has been produced, it will keep moving in a straight line until it hits something else. Shadows are evidence of light traveling in straight lines. An object blocks light so that it can’t reach the surface where we see the shadow.
