Let's try something bigger. Here are the masses of the two pictured objects:
• Jelly bean: kilograms
• Egyptian pyramid: kilograms
How many jelly beans weigh about as much as one Egyptian pyramid?
Adjust the numbers below to balance the scale.
How many jelly beans would I need? Write in scientific notation please and thank you.
Egyptian pyramid: 5.3 * 10^7 kg = 53000000 kg
Jelly bean: 1.1 * 10^-3 kg = 0.0011 kg
How many jelly beans would I need to balance the weight to make to jelly beans equal in weight to the pyramid?
To find out how many jelly beans would weigh about the same as one Egyptian pyramid, we can use the following calculation:
Jelly beans needed = (mass of pyramid) / (mass of 1 jelly bean)
Jelly beans needed = 5.3 x 10^7 / 1.1 x 10^-3
Jelly beans needed ≈ 4.8182 x 10^10
Therefore, you would need approximately 4.8182 x 10^10 jelly beans to weigh as much as one Egyptian pyramid.
Airplane: 2.1 * 10^5 kg = 210000 kg
Earth: 5.972 * 10^24 kg = 5972000000000000000000000.0012 kg
How many airplanes would I need to balance the weight to make the airplanes equal in weight to the Earth? Use scientific notation please and thank you.
To find out how many airplanes would weigh about the same as the Earth, we can use the following calculation:
Airplanes needed = (mass of Earth) / (mass of 1 airplane)
Airplanes needed = 5.972 x 10^24 / 2.1 x 10^5
Airplanes needed ≈ 2.84476190476 x 10^19
Therefore, you would need approximately 2.8448 x 10^19 airplanes to weigh as much as the Earth.
Earth: 5.972 * 10^24 kg =5972000000000000000000000.0012 kg
Sun: 1.989 * 10^30 kg
How many Earths would I need to balance the weight to make the Earths equal in weight to the Sun? Use scientific notation please and thank you.
To find out how many Earths would weigh about the same as the Sun, we can use the following calculation:
Earths needed = (mass of Sun) / (mass of 1 Earth)
Earths needed = 1.989 x 10^30 / 5.972 x 10^24
Earths needed ≈ 3.32804458205 x 10^5
Therefore, you would need approximately 3.328 x 10^5 Earths to weigh as much as the Sun.
What is a Burj Khalifa?
The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It stands at a height of 828 meters (2,717 feet) and has 163 floors above ground. The building is a significant architectural and engineering achievement, attracting visitors from around the world to admire its design and views from the observation decks.
Cruise ship: 3.83 * 10^7 kg = 38300000
Watermelon: 8.9 * 10^0 kg = 8.9 kg
How watermelons would I need to balance the weight to make the watermelons equal in weight to the cruise ship? Use scientific notation please.
To find out how many watermelons would weigh about the same as the cruise ship, we can use the following calculation:
Watermelons needed = (mass of cruise ship) / (mass of 1 watermelon)
Watermelons needed = 3.83 x 10^7 / 8.9
Watermelons needed ≈ 4.30337 x 10^6
Therefore, you would need approximately 4.303 x 10^6 watermelons to weigh as much as the cruise ship.
