To infinity and beyond! This is one of the famous lines of the iconic
astronaut Buzz Lightyear that we usually express when someone asked us how
much we love them. But what if that someone does not accept that expression and
she/he wants you to give concrete evidence by asking you to provide specific
figures or values? What instrument will you use? How will you compare that
expression to a given numbers? That will not be a problem if you know
measurements. You can express you answer by giving specific number
accompanied by a unit which will be equal to huge value.

What’s In
Refer to the illustration below. You will observe that the value of the prefixes
as it went up the ladder increase and decreases as it went down the ladder. If you
will convert the units all you have to do is to move the decimal point directed to
what is being required and number of spaces shown on the ladder will indicate its
movement.
For example, when you convert milli to deca, you will move the decimal point 4
times going to the left, whereas, 2716. 12 milli will become 0.271612 deca. When
you covert hecto to base unit you will move the decimal point going to the right,
this means that 1.816 hecto will become 1816 base unit.
Another way of converting the unit is by simply multiplying the given to its
corresponding multiplier. Listed below are the examples.

Notes to the Teacher
This module prepares the learners to understand/master the
different conversion factors and expressing answer in scientific
notation.
What’s New
Meanwhile, the metric system constitutes unit based on the power of 10,
which makes it preferred system to be used in science. In 1960 the metric system
was reorganized by international conference held in France creating the SI
(Syst’eme international d’unite’s) or the International System of Units. These
include the seven metric units which are called base units.

1. How many inches are there in 10 meters?
Solution: As you can see from the given table that there is no direct conversion
from inches to meters.
a. Relate inches to meters. You may relate meters to inches by first converting the
metric quantities. Know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters and 1 meter is
equal to 100 centimeters.
b. From the given quantities, you can list the following conversion factors:
1 𝑖𝑛 2.54 𝑐𝑚 100 𝑐𝑚 1𝑚
𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑟
2.54 𝑐𝑚 1 𝑖𝑛 1𝑚 100 𝑐𝑚
Use S to represent speed of a car. For this case the unit is express in ratio (km/h)
so we need to convert both numerator and denominator.
Note: in converting one unit to another you must analyse if they are referring to the
same quantity. Remember that you cannot convert units that do not correspond to
the same quantity.
You will notice in some instance that a unit do not corresponds to the same
quantity. Like for example, force is express in Newton – N which has the equivalent
4
value of kg.m/s2, the speed (m/s), and work or energy express in Joule (N.m or
kg.m2/s2). This is actually referred to a derived quantities or units! Newton or the
unit of force is derived from multiplying the mass of an object in kg and its
acceleration (m/s2).
What is It
In physics, it is very common to work with very large or very small numbers.
For this reason, scientific notation is being used. Scientific notation is a short way
of expressing huge numbers like 1, 300, 300 or incredibly small numbers like 0.
0000000000000000027. Too big or too small numbers are easily calculated using
scientific notation. An example of scientific notation is 1.27x107 which is just a
different way of expressing the standard notation of the number 12 700 000.
Standard notation is the normal way of writing numbers. The positive exponent
indicates a large number while the negative exponent indicates a small number. In
general, a number written in scientific notation will be multiplied by 10 raised to an
"exponent."
By looking at (Figure 1.) showing the exponents 3 and -3 will signify different
value. This will mean that a positive exponent will ask you to multiply by a power of
10. A negative exponent means to divide. Briefly, the exponent indicates the
number of 0's in the power of 10. Therefore, if a number is written in scientific
notation will be express as a standard number; we can state the following rule:
1. If the exponent is positive, move the decimal point right as many places as
indicated by the exponent.
2. If the exponent is negative, move the decimal point left as many places as
indicated by the exponent.
Examples:
5
a) 5.42 × 103 = 5,420. Move the decimal point three places right.
b) 5.42 × 10−3 = .00542 Move the decimal point three places left.
The scientific notation on the right begins 1.234. To get back to 123.4, we have to
move the point 2 places right. We have to multiply by 10 with exponent positive 2.
Note: A number does not change if we divide it and then multiply the quotient by
the same number, or if we multiply and then divide by the same number.
Example:
In this case the base number will be multiplied by ten in 9 repetitions. After getting
the product, divide the same number by 10 in 9 repetitions, still you will be
arriving at the same base number.
In this case the base will be divided by 10 in 3 repetitions. After getting the
quotient, multiply this number by 10 in 3 repetitions.
0.00271 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 2.71
