(a)
Interpretation:
The quantity
Concept introduction:
The scientific notation is the standard method of representation of a long or tedious measurement. The number is expressed as number times ten raised to some power.
For instance mass of a proton is conveniently expressed as
While a number is written in scientific notations it is scaled down to some digit between 1 to10 ten and the places that previously contain zeroes are changed to ten raised to some power.

How many U.S gallons does the aquarium contain? One U.S. gallon equals exactly 231 in3.arrow_forwardFor these questions, be sure to apply the rules for significant figures. a You are conducting an experiment where you need the volume of a box; you take the length, height, and width measurements and then multiply the values together to find the volume. You report the volume of the box as 0.310 m1. If two of your measurements were 0.7120 m and 0.52145 m, what was the other measurement? b If you were to add the two measurements from the first part of the problem to a third length measurement with the reported result of 1.509 m, what was the value of the third measurement?arrow_forward
