Scientific Notation, Conversions and Significant Digits: Transcript


Learning Goals convert numbers to scientific notation convert measurements using the metric system identify the number of significant digits in a measurement Scientific Notation. Consider the coordinate system illustrated in Figure 1 Instead of using the typical axis labels and we use and or 1 The corresponding unit basis vectors are then and or 1 The basis vectors and have the following properties 1 1 0 2 Figu Precision and Design. Chapter 1. Chemistry: An Introduction. Section 1.1: Chemistry: The Science of Matter. Chemistry-the branch of science that deals with the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Objectives. Express numbers in scientific notation.. Convert from standard form to scientific notation.. Convert from scientific notation to standard form.. Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide with scientific notation.. Scientific Notation Intro. Scientific Notation. Consists of two parts. 1. mantissa. The full size number that comes before x 10. 2. characteristic. The exponent that comes after x 10 and is superscript. Measuring with Precision. Defn: Those numbers that result from directly measuring an object. It shows the precision of the measurement.. Units must be included (no units no sd). The precision of the measurement depends upon the measuring instrument. 5700. 1. 2. 3. 4. Multiply. 843.5 * 21103. 17800380.5. 1.780 x 10. 8. 1.780 x 10. 7. 17800000. Which of the following instruments would give you the most accurate measurement?. Round to 3 significant digits.. What are Sig Figs?. I read in the paper that . Jimmy Haslam (owner . of the Browns) . has a net worth 2.7 . billion dollars.. Myself and a friend bought 4 tickets for $264.30. Assume that immediately after it was reported, I ran to Mr. . Notation. Essentials questions. : How do you add, subtract, multiply, and divide using scientific notation?. Unit 1-3. Operations with Scientific. Notation. Quick review. Product rule .
