Question 1.
Express the following numbers in standard form.
(i) 0.0000000000085
(ii) 0.00000000000942
(iii) 6020000000000000
(iv) 0.00000000837
(v) 31860000000
Solution:
(i) 0.0000000000085 = 8.5 × 10-12
(ii) 0.00000000000942 = 9.42 × 10-12
(iii) 6020000000000000 = 6.02 × 1015
(iv) 0.00000000837 = 8.37 × 10-9
(v) 31860000000 = 3.186 × 1010

Question 2.
Express the following numbers in usual form.
(i) 3.02 × 10-6
(ii) 4.5 × 104
(iii) 3 × 10-8
(iv) 1.0001 × 109
(v) 5.8 × 1012
(vi) 3.61492 × 106
Solution:
(i) We have, 3.02 × 10-6 = 0.00000302
(ii) We have, 4.5 × 104 = 45000
(iii) We have, 3 × 10-8 = 0.00000003
(iv) We have, 1.0001 × 109 = 1000100000
(v) We have, 5.8 × 1012 = 5800000000000
(vi) We have, 3.61492 × 106 = 3614920

Question 3.
Express the number appearing in the following statements in standard form.
(i) 1 micron is equal to $$\frac{1}{1000000}$$ 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 of a thick paper is 0.07 mm.
Solution:
(i) Standard form of given statement = 1 × 10-8.
(ii) Standard form of given statement = 1.6 × 10-19.
(iii) Standard form of given statement = 5 × 10-7.
(iv) Standard form of given statement = 1.275 × 10-5.
(v) Standard form of given statement = 7 × 10-2.

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:
Total number of books = 5
Thickness of each book = 20 mm
∴ Thickness of 5 books = (5 × 20) mm = 100 mm
Thickness of each paper sheet = 0.016 mm
∴ Thickness of 5 paper sheets = (5 × 0.016) mm = 0.08 mm
Hence, total thickness of stack = 100 mm + 0.08 mm
= 100.08 mm = 1.0008 × 102 mm
