- This video focuses on how to convert units with scientific notation. I work through three examples involving converting from one unit of measurement to another. Some of the units involved in this video involve picometers, centimeters, nanometers, etc.

So helpful. Helped me learn in 5 minutes what I was not taught in 4 months by my chem teacher. Thank you!
Glad it helped! This is a tricky topic to teach! Sometimes you just have to see another approach.
the way you teach is really simple to understand
thanks a lott
this was really helpful, our teacher didn’t explain the process and thus most of our class got confused, ty
I am glad you were able to learn from the video! This is definitely a tricky concept to teach. You need strong math for science, especially in physics and chemistry!
Thank you so much for this explanation! Makes perfect sense now 👏

I forgot the scientific notation method after not using it from a lot of time haha.
I guess you gotta revise this stuff from time to time 😁
You're welcome 😊
It is very easy to forget the techniques when you do not use them for a while. If I had to take one of my old college math finals, I do not think I would be able to remember much!
Thanks for supporting the channel.

thanks a lot, I understood everything now!
You are welcome!

Tysm it was so helpful it helped me alot 😭
Very well explained! ❤
Glad it helped! I hope your school year is going well!
Thanks a lot! It really helped me
Glad it helped! I hope your school year is going well!
This helps but how would I do this with exponents on the units of measurement like km^2 to mm^2 or mm^3 to m^3?
You would need to square the whole conversion, for example 1 ft ^2 = (12in)^2 = 12 in x 12 in = 144 in^2

u a real one fr🔥
I'm happy to help!! I hope your school year is going well!
See im confused. In number 2 how did you get 10^-2?
.053 = 5.3×10^-2
I converted the original number to scientific notation. Also the prefix for centi is c which equals 10^-2
he changed it into scientific notation and when you move to the right to get the s.n the power is negative!

@@V_ennmath but when he converted 60 to micro, it became 6 x 10¹, but for 0.053 m, it became 5.3 x 10-². How came it became negative?
Thankssss so much but what if its 25km/h to m/s? Is the process the same?
Yes, it is the same concept! You would also need to convert hrs to seconds using the fact that 1 hr = 60 min and 1 min = 60 sec.
I am confused, the last one. Why is the answer 10 to the 16th power and not 10 to the negative 8th?
We are dividing 10^4 / 10^-12, so we use the algebraic property a^b / a^c = a^ b - c. Your answer would be correct if you were multiplying 10^4 x 10^ - 12, then you would add the exponents to get 10 ^ -8. (Note: a^b x a^c = a^ b + c)
watching this in 2024 Feb 16 and m soo thankful I came across this video
I'm glad the video helped! Are you watching this to help with a science or math class?
Thank you sooo much
Happy to help!
Thank you sooo much
