A sheet of gold leaf has a thickness of 0.125 micrometer. A gold atom has a radius of 174pm. Approximately how many layers of atoms are there in the sheet?

719

Explanation:

Conversion

1 picometer (pm) is equivalent to meter

1 micrometer is equivalent to meter

To find the number of layers, we divide the overal leaf thickness by the thickness of one atom hence dividing tex]0.125 × 10^{-6}[/tex] meter by meter we get that the number of sheets will be as follows

Therefore, they are approximately 719 sheets

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.

no. bullets are macro objects. wave nature is for light waves, extremely tiny particles. if a light particle was the size of your finger, the bullet would be the size of the universe. so basically, that huge difference in size makes the wave nature of matter insignificant.
