QuestionA paper is 0.01 cm thick. Each fold doubles its thickness. Find thickness after 4, 5 folds, and derive a formula $T = 0.01 \cdot 2^f$.
(d) Thickness at $f=10$? (e) Thickness after 20 folds in meters? (f) Does it reach the Moon (384,000 km) after 40 folds? Show calculations.

Studdy Solution
Compare the calculated thickness with the distance to the Moon (384,000 km). If the calculated thickness is greater than the distance to the Moon, then the paper would reach the Moon after40 folds.
The paper would reach the Moon after40 folds because109951.62 km is greater than384,000 km.
