The following times are given using metric prefixes on the base SI unit of time: the second. Rewrite them in scientific notation without the prefix. For example, 47 Ts would be rewritten as 4.7 × 1013 s. (a) 980 Ps; (b) 980 fs; (c) 17 ns; (d) 577 μs.
A high school track coach has just purchased a new stopwatch. The stopwatch manual states that the stopwatch has anuncertainty of ±0.05 s . Runners on the track coach’s team regularly clock 100-m sprints of 11.49 s to 15.01 s . At theschool’s last track meet, the first-place sprinter came in at 12.04 s and the second-place sprinter came in at 12.07 s . Willthe coach’s new stopwatch be helpful in timing the sprint team? Why or why not?
An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.94 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance
above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.
