Cut a piece of paper in half and each half into a half and so on until you have made 60 cuts. How high would the stack be?

One cut gives two pieces of paper. 21
Two cuts gives four pieces of paper. 22
Three cuts gives eight pieces of parer. 23
So 60 cuts gives 260 pieces of paper. (A really big number)
Now lets just say that the paper is 2-4 meters thick. (1/10 of a mm, really thin stuff)
then 260 x 2-4 = 256 meters. or 252 kilometers

What unit would you use to measure a piece of paper?

If you folded a peice of paper 50 times and the thickness was .1 mm when you started how thick would it be?
It is physically impossible to fold a piece of paper in half more than 8 times. However, assuming you could do it (though it would be easier to cut the pile so far in half and put one half on top of the other), then: After 1 fold the stack has 2 sheets After 2 folds the stack has 4 sheets After 3 folds the stack has 8 sheets After n folds the stack has 2^n sheets After 50 folds the stack will be 2⁵⁰ sheets thick As each sheet is 0.1mm, the stack will be: 2⁵⁰ × 0.1 mm = 112589990684262.4 mm thick = 112589990.6842624 km thick ≈ 1.126 × 10¹¹ m thick
How many times would you have to fold a 1 mm thick piece of paper to reach the moon?
It would take 42 times to fold an average 8.5 by 11 piece of paper to reach the moon!<3
What unit would most often be used to determine the mass of one piece of notebook paper?
probably a meter!
If you had a piece of paper that was 0.001 inches thick how tall a pile would it make if it were folded in half 10 times?
1.028"
How many pieces of paper are in a stack?
Historically a stack of paper would be up to the ceiling - so how high is the ceiling?
If 0.15 is a stack of paper how many stacks of paper would be equal to 6.5?
43 stacks and one third of a stack.
What would you call 500 sheets of paper?
A stack of papers.
How thick would a piece of paper folded in half be?
Folding the piece of paper does not change the thickness of the piece of paper. However, the thickness of the folded paper would be twice that of the original sheet of paper.
What do you call a group of paper?
A collection of paper is commonly referred to as a stack or a pile.
If you could fold a piece of paper fifty times would it be higher than Mount Everest?
Theoretically, yes, as each fold would increase the height of the stack by 100%. After 12 folds a paper stack is typically 2 feet high. If you plug this into a formula - and mind you these are my own private calculations and can be wrong - and anticipate 50 folds, the stack would tower 549,755,813,888 feet (104,120,419.3 miles), which would not only dwarf Mount Everest (29,029 ft) but exceed the circumference of the Earth itself (24,901.55 miles) by several times. As a point of interest, the current world record for folding a piece of paper of any size consecutively in half is only 12 times.
If a short stack of paper represented a region of Earth's surface which fold or cut in the stack would show a monocline?
A step-like fold across the stack

How do you make paper towers with only tape and paper?
Make the paper blocks. After doing so stack the paper blocks like you would do in jenga.
If you have a ream of paper 500 sheets it is 8.5cm thick he wants to stack 10 reams how many meters tall will it be how thick is each piece of paper?
Ten reams of paper, at 8.5 centimetres tall each, would measure 8.5 x 10 = 85 centimetres.Each sheet of paper within a ream would measure 8.5 / 500 = 0.017 centimetres, or 1.7 millimetres.
Why would a crumpled piece of paper hit the ground before a flat piece of paper?
Because a flat piece of paper has a larger surface area and therefore more wind resistance. But in a crumbled piece of paper the wind resistance is less.
How much would a stack of paper cost?
The cost of a stack of paper can vary depending on the size, quality, and quantity of the paper. On average, a ream of standard printer paper containing 500 sheets typically costs around $5-10. Specialized paper or larger quantities may cost more.
