The blog is for discussion. So if you have one that you think is especially good or clever, I would post that others will post some of there answers as well. If you are having trouble with one or more ask.
For our examples, should we simply be putting the units (such as the kilo second) or are we supposed to apply it to something as well (the time to reheat a turkey pot pie)?
Hey Mr. Crane, I cannot find my handout of the worksheet. I may have left it in my locker. If possible could you post a printable version of the worksheet on here? Thanks! -John Mairone mod 7
Well one yottabyte roughly consists of 10^15 gigabytes and a standard computer RAM is from 2-6 GB which shows the great amount of bytes a yottabyte has. -Madison Hull
(Mod 4) A decigram is a very small unit of measurement, equalling about the weight of a housefly. However, milligrams are even smaller, equalling about the weight of a grain of sand.
The number 1 has significance though. It isn't just a number that is worth nothing. When measuring you can measure and round to the ones place, but it isn't the most ideal form of measuring if you are looking for exactness. Sydney Portock Mod 4
About 10 zeptograms is equal to one molecule of human insulin. Even smaller, a yoctogram is able to be used to measure the mass of a subatomic particle. Sydney Portock Mod 4
Start thinking in cosmic terms instead of limiting yourself to an Earth frame of reference. When you start talking about the mass of the galaxy or distances between them, you start using very large numbers. -Kevin Meglathery
I am also confused... I was able to find a few examples (use zetta to measure the mass of the earth) but I am not sure if the examples I found are correct. Also, I can't find an example for ever prefix Sydnee VanDyke Mod 4

Mod 4 On the worksheet, Exponential Notation (Level 1) the answers say that for letter g in problem 1, the answer is (8x10^-8). I was wondering why the answer would be to the -8 and not -7, because their are 7 zeros in the problem.
Did you remember to include the 8 at the end? Remember that you need to move the decimal point one space to the left before you start adding zeros. Example- 5x10^-1=.5 There are no zeros, but you still moved the point one place over. -Kevin Meglathery
Wait, so are we supposed to post all of our examples for the numbers on here and do everything else on the ws?

DeleteI'm confused on what to do because I wasnt here today. Is there a worksheet we have to do?
ReplyDeleteFind examples of quantities that would represent the numbers on the WS . Example a kilo second (1000s) the time it takes to reheat a turkey pot pie.
ReplyDeleteFor our examples, should we simply be putting the units (such as the kilo second) or are we supposed to apply it to something as well (the time to reheat a turkey pot pie)?
ReplyDeleteYes. Otherwise a kilo second is useless if we don't know to what it relates.

ReplyDelete(Mod 4) I couldn't find the name of (10^0), did anyone else?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the name for it either.

10^0 =1 so it is insignificant in any form of measurement
Deleteanything^0=1

I don't know what would be an example of a yottametre, It is larger than anything in existence

Okay, thank you!
