How to change 0.000 007 8 s to us?

1 answer:

8 0

The letter u before any unit means micro. Micro is a unit prefix used in the metric system which actually means a factor of 10^-6 (one millionth).

Now, 10^-6 is equivalent to a movement of 6 decimal places from left to right. So to write the number 0.0000078 s into a number which has a unit of us, therefore we move the decimal place by 6 to the right, giving us:

7.8 us

Another way to do this is to multiply the number by 1 million (1,000,000), so:

0.0000078 * 1,000,000

Using the calculator to solve, we get the value:

7.8 us

Answer:

We kindly invite you to read carefully the explanation and check the image attached below.

Explanation:

According to this problem, the rocket is accelerated uniformly due to thrust during 30 seconds and after that is decelerated due to gravity. The velocity as function of initial velocity, acceleration and time is:

$v_{f} = v_{o}+a\cdot (t-t_{o})$ (1)
