1m = 1000 mm (millimeter)
1 mm = 1000 μm (micrometer)
1 μ = 1000 nm (nanometer)
If the tube is 1 nm in diameter, then
veryify that
5 μm = 5*1000 nm = 5000 nm
= how many diameters?

* 1 μm = 1000 nm (nanometer)

Is it 5 diameters?
If the tube is 1 nm in diameter, then
veryify that
5 μm = 5*1000 nm = 5000 nm
= how many diameters?
Can you tell us what prevents you from finding the answer with the information above?
Recall that the original question is:
(I) If a nanotube is 5 micrometers long, how many diameters does this represent?
I am experiencing a major block....
I can't say....
1micrometer= 1000nm
5micrometer= x..... because I'll get back the same thing
So please help me, tell me the answer please.
To verify that 5 μm is equal to 5000 nm, you can use the conversion factor 1 μm = 1000 nm.
So, if you want to convert 5 μm to nm, you start with 5 μm and multiply it by the conversion factor:
5 μm * (1000 nm / 1 μm) = 5000 nm
Therefore, 5 μm is equal to 5000 nm.
Now, to determine how many diameters the 5000 nm corresponds to, you need to know the diameter of the tube. If the tube is 1 nm in diameter, you need to divide 5000 nm by 1 nm to find the number of diameters:
5000 nm / 1 nm = 5000
So, 5000 nm is equal to 5000 diameters.
