Q47 / 201 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

Assuming the mass of the earth as 6.64×1024 kg and the average mass of the atoms that make up the earth as 40 u (atomic mass unit), the number of atoms in the earth is approximately

  • A
    1030
  • B
    1040
  • Correct answer
    C
    1050
  • D
    1060

Solution

1 a.m.u=1 u=1.6 × 10-27 kg

40 u=40×1.6×10-27 kg

Number of atoms in earth,

=6.64 × 102440 ×1.6 ×10-27 = 1050

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
