<span>Three significant figures would be 87.1 m In scientific notation it would be 8.71 x 10^1 m Significant figures tells you how many total digits to hold in the number, so in this case it is three, so we keep three total digits, but we round up the tenths position because in the hundredths is 7. In order to write in scientific notation, the mantissa (or significand) must be between 1 and 10. The magnitude is then denoted by a power, the power is calculated by how many times the decimal is "moved" if it is to the left to get the mantissa, then it is a positive number, if it is moved to the right, then it is a number smaller than 1.</span>

A textbook measures 250 mm long, 225 mm wide and 50 mm thick. What is the volume of this book in mm3? What is the volume of this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

2.81 × 10⁶ mm³

2.81 × 10⁻³ m³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Length (l): 250 mm

Width (w): 225 mm

Thickness (t): 50 mm

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the textbook

The book is a cuboid so we can find its volume (V) using the following expression.

V = l × w × t = 250 mm × 225 mm × 50 mm = 2.81 × 10⁶ mm³

Step 3: Convert the volume to cubic meters

We will use the relationship 1 m³ = 10⁹ mm³.

2.81 × 10⁶ mm³ × 1 m³ / 10⁹ mm³ = 2.81 × 10⁻³ m³

What does it mean for a element of a group to have a order?
lisabon 2012 [21]

In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the term order is used in two unrelated senses:

<span><span>The order of a group is its cardinality, i.e., the number of elements in its set. Also, the order, sometimes period, of an element a of a group is the smallest positive integer m such that <span>am = e</span> (where e denotes the identity element of the group, and am denotes the product of m copies of a). If no such m exists, a is said to have infinite order.</span><span>The ordering relation of a partially or totally ordered group.</span></span>

This article is about the first sense of order.

The order of a group G is denoted by ord(G) or | G | and the order of an element a is denoted by ord(a) or | a |.

Which equation represents a transuranium​
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.

2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.

The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.

This are some of the transuranium elements:

Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99

And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).

3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:

0

 β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1

5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:

239              239            0

     Np    →         Pu   +      β

 93                94            -1

As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.
