FA#3-Leaves, Part II
Sorry about the hiatus; here's the answer to the most recent FQ. Multiply the amount of leaves (~10,000 ) by their mass per leaf (0.45359237 kg/leaf)(source). The answer is 4 ,535 .9 kg, which is the total mass of the leaves. Multiply the total mass of the leaves by their energy output per kilogram (1,000 ,000 Joules /kg). Our answer comes to 4 ,535 ,900 ,000 Joules . Just one more step; convert Joules to (chemist's) calories . The answer is 1.08410612 × 10E9, so FA#3 is 9.
