Charles is reading about computers. He learns that a computer processor can perform one command in approximately 0.000000016
nanoseconds. What is this number expressed in scientific notation?

The number 0.000000016 is expressed in scientific notation is:

Solution:

Given that,

Charlie learns that a computer processor can perform one command in approximately 0.000000016  nanoseconds

We have to express in scientific notation

Step 1:

Given number is:

0.000000016

Move the decimal point in 0.000000016 until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point

Here,

Move the decimal 8 places to the right to get 1.6

We have moved the decimal to left, therefore, exponent is negative

Thus the given number is expressed in scientific notation

step-by-step explanation:

we can use this expression to calculate the energy gain as a particle moves with a field or the energy loss as it moves against it. (note that it is also used to define the electron-volt, a unit of energy equal to that gained by an electron as it falls through a pd of 1 v, i.e. w = 1 ev = 1.6 10-19 c 1 v = 1.6 10-19j).in fact this expression is really nothing more than the statement that potential is the potential energy per unit charge. in this case, v= w/qis simply stating that the change in potential energy(or work done) per unit charge is equal to the change in potential (or potential difference), v.student questions: uniform electric fields2electron beamcathode+5 kvanode0 v
