Express this product in units of m3 in scientific notation with the appropriate number of significant figures: (2.90 km) × (350 cm) × (1.005 10-2 mm)
The following lengths are given in meters. Use metric prefixes to rewrite them so the numerical value is bigger than one but less than 1000. For example, 7.9 × 10−2 m could be written either as 7.9 cm or 79 mm. (a) 7.59 × 107 m; (b) 0.0074 m; (c) 8.8 × 10−11 m; (d) 1.63 × 1013 m.
Hello, I am having trouble with this homework question. What would be the best approach in solving this problem and getting the answer in both scientific notation and as a whole number?

- In general, when a derived unit becomes complicated (involves too many standard units), what is done?arrow_forwardOne student uses a meterstick to measure the thickness of a textbook and obtains 4.3 cm 0.1 cm. Other students measure the thickness with vernier calipers and obtain four different measurements: (a) 4.32 cm 0.01 cm. (b) 4.31 cm 0.01 cm, (c) 4.24 cm 0.01 cm, and (d) 4.43 cm 0.01 cm.

If the sidewalk is to measure (1.00 0.01) m wide by (9.0 0.1) cm thick, what volume of concrete is needed and what is the approximate uncertainty of this volume?arrow_forward
- In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .arrow_forwardWrite the following quantities in standard units.
