Ch 1 Problems1.

a. 1.410 x 10^10 years

b. (1.4 x 10^10y)(3.156 x 10^7s/1y)= 4.4 x 10^17s

2.

a. 3 significant figures

b. 4 significant figures

c. 3 significant figures

d. 1 significant figure

e. 2 significant figures

f. 4 significant figures

g. 2 significant figures

3.

a. 1.156 x 10^0

b. 2.18 x 10^1

c. 6.8 x10^-3

d. 2.7636 x 10^1

e. 2.19 x 10^-1

f. 4.44 x 10^2

4.

a. 86,9000

b. 9,100

c. 0.88

d. 476

e. 0.0000362

12.

a. 0.286 m

b. 0.000085 V

c. 0.000760 kg

d. 0.0000000000600 s

e. 0.0000000000000225m

f. 2,500,000,000 volts

13.

a. 1 megavolt (Mvolt)

b. 2 micrometers (um)

c. 6 kilodays (kdays)

d.18 hectobucks (hbucks)

e. 8 nanopieces (npieces)

14. a. Assuming a height of 5 feet 10 inches, then 5'10"" = (70 in) (1m/ 39.37in) = 1.8 m

b. Assuming a weight of 165 lbs, then (165 lbs) (0.456 kg/1lb) = 75.2kg

Technically, pounds and mass measure two separate properties. To make this conversion, we have to assume that we are at a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.

15. a. 93 million miles (93x10^6 miles) (1610 m/1 mile) = 1.5 x 10^11 m

b. 1.5 x 10^11 m = 150 x 10^9 m = 150 gigameters or 1.5 x 10^11 m = 0.15 x 10^12 m = 0.15 terameters

@& You don't need to submit a list of answers to your problems.

You do need to submit the q_a_ and the Query.

If you have a question on a problem not covered in the Query you can submit your question using the Submit Work Form. I'm always glad to respond to questions submitted in that manner.

I can easily see what you did on the last several problems and you appear to be doing very well here.*@
