Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In metric system of units, the bigger and the smaller units of any quantity are in relation with each other by the factor of 10. It is the most useful unit system. It is a decimal system of units. For example, if the unit of length is 1kilometer then it is equal to 1000meters, according to the metric units.

Answer to Problem 1.100E

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 4.5×106mm.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 4.5km. The conversion of km into mm is done as,

1km=1×106mm

Thus, the quantity, 4.5km can be converted into mm as,

4.5km=4.5×106mm

Therefore, the metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 4.5×106mm.

Conclusion

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 4.5×106mm.

Answer to Problem 1.100E

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 6.0×103g.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 6.0×106mg. The conversion of mg into g is done as,

1mg=1×103g

Thus, the quantity, 6.0×106mg can be converted into g as,

6.0×106mg=6.0×106×103g=6.0×103g

Therefore, the metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 6.0×103g.

Conclusion

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 6.0×103g.

Answer to Problem 1.100E

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 9.86×1012km.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 9.86×1015m. The conversion of m into km is done as,

1m=1×103km

Thus, the quantity, 9.86×1015m can be converted into km as,

9.86×1015m=9.86×1015×103km=9.86×1012km

Therefore, the metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 9.86×1012km.

Conclusion

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 9.86×1012km.

Answer to Problem 1.100E

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 1.91×102mg.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 1.91×104kg. The conversion of kg into mg is done as,

1kg=1×106mg

Thus, the quantity, 1.91×104kg can be converted into mg as,

1.91×104kg=1.91×104×106mg=1.91×102mg

Therefore, the metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 1.91×102mg.

Conclusion

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 1.91×102mg.

Answer to Problem 1.100E

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 5.0×106mg.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 5.0ng. The conversion of ng into mg is done as,

1ng=1×106mg

Thus, the quantity, 5.0ng can be converted into mg as,

5.0ng=5.0×106mg

Therefore, the metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 5.0×106mg.

Conclusion

The metric system conversion of the given quantity by changing only the power of 10 is 5.0×106mg.
