Scientific Notation
- Scientific notation shortens large numbers for convenience.
- Example: 3,500,000 is expressed as 3.5 x 10^6.
- Spoken form: "Three point five times ten raised to the sixth power."
- Coefficient, base, and exponent are key components in scientific notation.
- Default base in scientific notation is base 10.
Real Life Examples of Scientific Notation
- World population: 7 billion as 7.0 x 10^9.
- Speed of light: 1,080,000,000 km/h as 1.08 x 10^9.
- Distance from Earth to the sun: 93 million miles as 9.3 x 10^7.
- Water surface area on Earth: 140 million square miles as 1.4 x 10^8.
- Approximate human body cells: 100 trillion as 1.0 x 10^14.
- Mass of an electron: 0.000000000000000000000000000000910 kg as 9.1093822 x 10^-31.
Historical Water Volume Data
- Data from the Department of Energy on water stored by site (2011-2015).
- Hanford site had various volumes recorded in 1,000 m^3.
- Maximum recorded total volume was in 2014 at 4.03 x 10^3 m^3.
- Each year sees slightly varying volumes across different sites.
Conversion Between Notations
- Understanding conversion from scientific notation to standard notation is essential.
- Example: 6.0 x 10^2 converts to standard notation as 600.
- Practice involves converting various forms of numbers to familiarize with both notations.
