Lab 2: The Metric System and Microscope Name _________________________ Date __________________________ Section 1: The Metric System The Metric System is known as the International System of Measurement. The Metric System is based on Standard-prefixes that correspond to ‘multiples of 10’. The measurements of volume (the liter)‚ mass (the gram)‚ and length (the meter) are the baseline for all metric unit conversion factors. In the United States‚ the English System is more commonly used;

Exponents and Powers Very large numbers and very small numbers are difficult to read‚ understand‚ and compare. To make this easier‚ we use exponents by converting many of the large numbers and small numbers into a shorter form. For example: 10‚000‚000‚000‚000 can be written as (10)13. Here‚ 10 is called the base and 13 is called the exponent. For any non-zero integer a‚ a m 1 ‚ where m is a positive integer. am a–m is called the multiplicative inverse of am and vice-versa.

The Imperial System is one of many things holding back the world from complete unison. The US is the only country now that hasn’t begun switching to the Metric System. The Metric System is more logical and is easier to use than the Metric System. It causes many problems with the rest of the world. The US should switch to the metric system because all units logically fit into each other and more countries use it than the Imperial System which forces car manufactures and maps to display both systems

The SI measurement unit is a unit that is used in science which is the most useful and dominate in this field. Other measurement units such as the metric system aren’t as useful as the SI system when it comes to being used in science. The metric system doesn’t have moles or kelvins‚ which are very important in the use of science. There are many more reasons why the SI system should continue to be used in science for measurement‚ and I’m going to explain why. National governments adopt one system

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION * Scientific notation is a way of writing very large and very small numbers in a compact form. * A number written in scientific notation is written in the form: a x 10b WRITING A NUMBER IN SCIENTIFIC NOTATION * Shift the decimal point so that there is one digit before the decimal point. * Multiply by a power of 10‚ equal to the number of places the decimal point has been moved. * The power of 10 is positive if the decimal point is moved to the left and negative

The forest lake aquathon consists of a 250 meter swim and a 2.5 kilometre run. A specific training program has been made to improve my weaknesses and work on cardiovascular fitness and endurance. This essay will also evaluate the personal training program that has been created and whether or not it will help improve my fitness. In last year’s aquathon I did not participate‚ but the average time that most students finished were around 20 minutes. There was also a fitness test where students swum

3.1 The hypothetical machine of figure 3.4 also has two I/O instructions: 0011 = Load AC from I/O 0111 = Store AC to I/O In these cases‚ the 12-bit address identifies a particular I/O device. Show the program execution (using the format of Figure 3.5) for the following program: 1. Load AC from device 5. 2. Add contents of memory location 940. 3. Store AC to device 6. Assume that the next value retrieved from device 5 is 3 and that location 940 contains a value of 2. [pic]
