Answer:

Nanotechnology means working with materials at the scale of one billionth of a metre.

Explanation:

The prefix “nano” refers to one billionth: it’s part of the scientific scale of measurement. Its science, engineering, and technology are conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things. Thus, this describes why the term nano is used to describe nanotechnology.

I hope this helps :)

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
$v=r \omega$
giving
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2$

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
$E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2$
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
$\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})$
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.

The largest building in the world by volume is the Boeing 747 plant in Everett, Washington. It measures approximately 634 m long

Mazyrski [523]

So to get the volume, you're going to multiply all three together, but you have to make all the units the same first. The answer wants ft³, so you want to convert them all to feet. height = 109 ft, so that's fine already. Awesome. width = 710 yd, but that's an easy conversion to feet. Three feet equal one yard, so just multiply (710 yd) by (3 ft/1 yd) and that'll give you the width in ft. length = 634 m This one is a little tricker, but same principle. First convert meters to centimeters, like this: (634 m)(100 cm/1 m). Then take that number in cm and convert it into inches, knowing that 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. So multiply the inches you have by (1 in/2.54 cm). Then you'll change that number into feet by dividing it by twelve, since there are twelve inches in each foot. Now you have all three measurements in feet. Just multiply them together to get the volume in ft³ and you're good to go! :)
