(i) 0.0000000000085

Solution:

= 0.0000000000085×(1012/1012) = 8.5 ×10-12

(ii) 0.00000000000942

Solution:

= 0.00000000000942×(1012/1012) = 9.42×10-12

(iii) 6020000000000000

3. Express the number appearing in the following statements in standard form.

(i)1 micron is equal to 1/1000000 m.

Solution:

1 micron = 1/1000000

= 1/106

= 1×10-6

(ii) Charge of an electron is 0.000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 16 Coulomb.

Solution:

= 0.00000000000000000016×1019/1019

= 1.6×10-19 coulomb

(iii) Size of bacteria is 0.0000005 m

Solution:

= 5/10000000

= 5/107 = 5×10-7 m

(iv)  Size of a plant cell is 0.00001275 m

Solution:

= 0.00001275×105/105

= 1.275×10-5m

(v) Thickness of a thick paper is 0.07 mm

Solution:

= 7/100 mm = 7/102 = 7×10-2 mm

4. In a stack there are 5 books each of thickness 20 mm and 5 paper sheets each of thickness 0.016 mm. What is the total thickness of the stack?

Solution:

Thickness of one book = 20 mm

Thickness of 5 books = 20×5 = 100 mm

Thickness of one paper = 0.016 mm

Thickness of 5 papers = 0.016×5 = 0.08 mm

Total thickness of a stack = 100+0.08 = 100.08 mm

                                         = 100.08×102/102 mm

= 1.0008 x 102 mm
