Question
an aluminum atom has a mass of 4.48 x 10^-23 g and a small airplane has a mass of 5000. kg.
Answers
GPT 3.5
To compare the masses of an aluminum atom and a small airplane, we need to convert the units so that they are in the same base unit.
1. Convert the mass of the aluminum atom to kilograms (kg).
Given:
Mass of aluminum atom = 4.48 x 10^-23 g
Conversion:
1 g = 0.001 kg
Mass of aluminum atom in kg = (4.48 x 10^-23 g) x (0.001 kg/1 g) = 4.48 x 10^-26 kg
2. Compare the masses of the aluminum atom and the small airplane.
Given:
Mass of small airplane = 5000 kg
Comparing the masses:
Mass of aluminum atom = 4.48 x 10^-26 kg
Mass of small airplane = 5000 kg
Since 4.48 x 10^-26 kg is much smaller than 5000 kg, we can conclude that the mass of the small airplane is significantly larger than the mass of an aluminum atom.
