The amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

<h3>How to convert micrograms to decigrams?</h3>

According to this question, 450 micrograms of a sample of gold is needed but we only have a mass balance that measures in decigrams.

This means that we are to convert the amount of gold you need to decigrams by comparing the exponents.

The conversion factor of micrograms to decigrams is as follows:

1 micrograms = 1 × 10-⁵ decigrams

This means 450 micrograms is equivalent to 450 × 1 × 10-⁵ = 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams

Therefore, the amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force
Inessa [10]
Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is  <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>

If I were to transmit a radio wave in our three dimensional world could a fourth dimensional “being” be able to receive it?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Depends. Are you talking about a mathematical 4th dimension (in which there is infinite dimensions) or some sort of etheral dimension (in which there is no scientific evidence for)

If you mean the first then yes. But it depends how these beings exist. From our understanding we only can theorize shapes in 4-d and if we assume that there is only one universe these "beings" arleady exist and thus any message in 3-d would be sent to them like a shadow ("flat").
If they exist in a alternate "plane" then you would need some method to transverse this plan and if u did, then we would easily be able to communicate, but we would at first sound like a wild animal. They either would ignore us, not understand or perceive us, or they would attempt to send back a signal (essential they are ET's)

IF you mean the second then thats some mystic stuff and its pretty creepy (although a fun read for me :P)
