The following times are given using metric prefixes on the base SI unit of time: the second. Rewrite them in scientific notation without the prefix. For example, 47 Ts would be rewritten as 4.7×1013s. (a) 980 Ps; (b) 980 fs; (c) 17 ns; (d) 577μs.
Question
Answer: a=9.8*10^-10s
b=9.8*10^-13s
c=1.7*10^-8s
d=5.57*10^-4s
Explanation:
a) given 980 ps
Expected answer is 980 * 10^-12
Therefore, 980ps = 9.8*10^-10s
b) given 980 fs
Expected answer is 980 * 10^-15
Therefore, 980fs = 9.8*10^-13s
c) given 17 ns
Expected answer is 17 * 10^-9
Therefore, 17ns = 1.7*10^-8s
d) given 577 μs
Expected answer is 577 * 10^-6
Therefore, 577μs = 5.57*10^-4s
a=9.8*10^-10s
b=9.8*10^-13s
c=1.7*10^-8s
d=5.57*10^-4s
