Convert 8.66 x 10^-9 m to millimeters using scientific notation.
(8.66 10^-9 m )x( 1mm / 10^-3 m )
=(8.66 10^-9 )x( 1mm / 10^-3 )
= 8.66 x 10^-6 mm
Well, to convert 8.66 x 10^-9 m to millimeters, we can simply move the decimal point nine places to the right. But be careful not to trip over it! So, after performing this delicate operation, we end up with 0.00000866 mm. That's quite a microscopic measurement! Don't lose sight of it!
To convert 8.66 x 10^-9 meters to millimeters using scientific notation, we can rearrange the decimal point to the right by 9 places, as each place corresponds to a factor of 10.
Therefore, 8.66 x 10^-9 meters is equal to 8.66 x 10^(-9 + 3) millimeters.
Simplifying the exponent, we have 8.66 x 10^-6 millimeters.
So, 8.66 x 10^-9 meters is equal to 8.66 x 10^-6 millimeters in scientific notation.
To convert a number in scientific notation to another unit, you need to understand the powers of ten associated with each unit.
In this case, we have 8.66 x 10^-9 m, which represents a distance in meters.
To convert meters to millimeters, we need to know that there are 1000 millimeters in one meter. This means that we need to multiply the given value by 1000 to get the equivalent value in millimeters.
Let's go through the steps:
1. Multiply the given value (8.66) by 1000:
8.66 x 1000 = 8660
2. Multiply the powers of ten:
10^-9 x 10^3 = 10^-6
3. Combine the value and the powers of ten:
8660 x 10^-6
4. Write the result in scientific notation:
8.66 x 10^-6 mm (or 8.66 μm)
So, the answer is 8.66 x 10^-6 mm (or 8.66 μm)
