= Exponents and Powers/image008.png

(v) 31860000000 = 31860000000 Exponents and Powers/image001.png Exponents and Powers/image009.png = Exponents and Powers/image010.png

Question 2.

Express the following numbers in usual form :

Exponents and Powers/image011.png

Solution :

Exponents and Powers/image017.png

Question 3.

Express the number appearing in the following statements in standard form :

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

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

(iii) Size of a bacteria is 0.0000005 m.

(iv) Size of a plant cell is

0.00001275 m.

(v) Thickness if a thick paper is 0.07 mm.

Solution :

(i) 1 micron

= Exponents and Powers/image021.png m

(ii)Charge of an electron is

0.00000000000000000016 coulombs.

= 0.00000000000000000016 Exponents and Powers/image001.png Exponents and Powers/image022.png

= Exponents and Powers/image023.png coulomb

(iii) Size of bacteria = 0.0000005

= Exponents and Powers/image024.png = Exponents and Powers/image025.png m

(iv) Size of a plant cell is 0.00001275 m

= 0.00001275 Exponents and Powers/image001.png Exponents and Powers/image026.png = Exponents and Powers/image027.png m

(v) Thickness of a thick paper = 0.07 mm

= 7/100mm = Exponents and Powers/image029.png mm

Question 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 Exponents and Powers/image001.png Exponents and Powers/image030.png

Exponents and Powers/image031.png mm
