Chapter 1: Q13. (page 18)

Express the following using the prefixes of Table 1鈥�4:

(a)1脳106volts

(b)2脳10-6meters

(c)6脳103days

(d)18脳102bucks

(e)7脳10-7seconds

Short Answer

Expert verified

The resultant expressions of the given values using prefixes for parts (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) are 1megavolt, 2micrometers, 6kilodays, 18hectobucks, and 0.7microseconds, respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Use of Prefixes

Prefixes

Prefixes are added at the beginning of words to modify their meaning. In the word unhappy, 鈥渦n鈥� is the prefix, and 鈥渞e鈥� is the prefix in the word rewrite.

To express the given value using a prefix, use Table 1鈥�4.

V=1脳106volts脳1megavolt106volts=1megavolt.

02

Step 2. Metric (SI) prefixes

To express the given value using a prefix, use Table 1鈥�4.

d=2脳10-6meters脳1micrometer10-6meters=2micrometers.

03

Step 3. SI prefixes

To express the given value using a prefix, use Table 1鈥�4.

t=6脳103days脳1kiloday103days=6kilodays.

04

Step 4. Metric prefixes

To express the given value using a prefix, use Table 1鈥�4.

n=18脳102bucks脳1hectobuck102bucks=18hectobucks

05

Step 5. Applications of Prefixes

To express the given value using a prefix, use Table 1鈥�4.

t=7脳10-7seconds=0.7脳10-6seconds脳1microsecond10-6seconds=0.7microseconds.

You are lying on a beach, with your eyes 20 cm above the sand. Just as the sun sets, fully disappearing over the horizon, you jump up. Your eyes are now 150 cm above the sand, and you can just see the top of the sun. If you count the number of seconds (= t) until the sun fully disappears again, you can estimate the earth鈥檚 radius. However, for this problem, use the known radius of the earth to calculate the time t.
