Beautiful ! What a great exercise ! I won't even check to verify
that 1:10⁻¹⁹ is an appropriate scale to map the Milky Way onto a
football field. I'll just accept it and go from there.
(4.4 light years) x (10⁻¹⁹) = (2.5848 x 10¹³ miles) x (10⁻¹⁹)
= 2.5848 x 10⁻⁶ mile
= 0.164 inch .
(1,391,400 kilometers) x (10⁻¹⁹) = 1.3914 x 10⁻¹⁰ meter
Research Conclusions:
If the Milky Way shrinks to fit on a football field, then
-- Alpha Centauri is 0.164 inch from us.
-- The sun's diameter is about 1.39 times that of a Hydrogen atom.
Playing with this same fun concept a little more:
-- The Earth is sailing around in its orbit, once a year,
about 0.000015 millimeter from the sun.
-- It takes light almost 27 years to travel 1 inch !
wow !
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2)^-3 x (-24)
(-2)^3 becomes 1/(-2)^3 in order to make the negative exponent a positive one.
then, you do 1/-8 (the -8 is the (-2)^3 simplified) x -24
1/-8 x (24) = 24/-8 = -3.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
14,168
Step-by-step explanation:
15400
Find 1% and times it by 8
Take away 8% from 15400
15400-1232=14168
The answer would be (0,2) because as shown in the graph ab crosses the y-axis at (0,2)
