Express the following in regular notation:<br> 3.4 x 10-1
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

hen working with very large or very small numbers, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers often use scientific notation to express those quantities. Scientific notation uses exponential notation. The following are examples of scientific notation.

Light year: number of miles light travels in one year, about 5,880,000,000,000

           Scientific notation is 5.88 x 1012 miles.

hydrogen atom: has a diameter of about 0.00000005 mm

Scientific notation is 5 x 10-8 mm

Computation with very large numbers is made easier with scientific notation.

Learning to Use Scientific Notation

When a number is written in scientific notation, the exponent tells you if the term is a large or a small number. A positive exponent indicates a large number and a negative exponent indicates a small number that is between 0 and 1.

Since it’s so useful, let’s look more closely at the details of scientific notation format.

Scientific Notation

A positive number is written in scientific notation if it is written as a x 10n where the coefficient a has a value such that 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer.

Look at the numbers below. Which of the numbers is written in scientific notation?

Writing Decimal Notation in Scientific Notation

Now let’s compare some numbers expressed in both scientific notation and standard decimal notation in order to understand how to convert from one form to the other. Take a look at the tables below. Pay close attention to the exponent in the scientific notation and the position of the decimal point in the decimal notation.

To write a large number in scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left to obtain a number between 1 and 10. Since moving the decimal point changes the value, you have to multiply the decimal by a power of 10 so that the expression has the same value.

Let’s look at an example.

180,000. =      18,000.0  x  101

                                                             1,800.00  x 102

                                                                180.000 x 103

                                                                  18.0000 x 104

                                                                    1.80000 x 105

                                   180,000 = 1.8 x 105

Notice that the decimal point was moved 5 places to the left, and the exponent is 5.

The world population is estimated to be about 6,800,000,000 people. Which answer expresses this number in scientific notation?

A) 7 x 109

B) 0.68 x 1010

C) 6.8 x 109

D) 68 x 108

D) 0.00000100357

Show/Hide Answer

To write a small number (between 0 and 1) in scientific notation, you move the decimal to the right and the exponent will have to be negative.

                             0.00004     =        00.0004   x  10-1

                                               000.004   x  10-2

                                                           0000.04   x   10-3

                                                           00000.4   x  10-4

                                                           000004.  x  10-5

                                       0.00004     =   4 x 10-5

A horizontal cylinder equipped with a frictionless piston contains 785 cm3 of steam at 400 K and 125 kPa pressure. A total of 83
guapka [62]

Answer:

a. 478.69 K

b. 939.43 cm^{3}

c. 19.30 J

d. 64.5J

Explanation:

From the question, we can identify the following;

V_{o} = 785cm^{3} = 0.000785 m^{3}

T_{o} = 400K

P_{o} = 125 Kpa =  125 000 Pa

Using the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where R is the molar gas constant = 8.314 m^{3}⋅Pa⋅K^{-1}⋅mol^{-1}

Thus, n = PV/RT = (125000 × 0.000785)/(8.314 × 400) = 0.03 mol

a. Steam temperature in K

To calculate this, we use the constant pressure process;

q = nΔH

Where q is 83.8J according to the question

Thus;

83.8 = 0.03 × [34980 + 35.5T_{1} - (34980 + 35.5T_{o})]

83.8 = (0.03 × 35.5) (T_{1} - 400K)

83.8 = 1.065 (T_{1}  - 400)

78.69 = (T_{1}  - 400)

T_{1} = 400 + 78.69

T_{1}  = 478.69 K

b. Final cylinder volume

To calculate this, we make use of the Charles' law(Temperature and pressure are directly proportional)

V_{1}/T_{1} = V_{o}/T_{o}

V_{1}  =  V_{o}T_{1}/T_{o}

V_{1}   = (785 × 478.69)/400

V_{1}   = 939.43 cm^{3}

c. Work done by the system

Mathematically, the work done by the system is calculated as follows;

w = P(V_{1}- V_{o}) = 125 KPa ( 939.43 - 785) = 19.30 J

d. Change in internal energy of the steam in J

ΔU = q - w = 83.8 - 19.3 = 64.5J

How do different bridge designs react to stong winds
anastassius [24]

Depending on how the design is, The bridge will sway, bounce, or move in some way. If the bridge was too stiff the winds would destroy the bridge and cause it to crumble and fall.

Hope that answer works for you! :)
