Concept explainers
Carry out the following conversions: (a) 185 nm to meters, (b) 4.5 billion years (roughly the age of Earth) to seconds (assume 365 days in a year), (c)
Interpretation:
The given conversions are to be carried out for the given measurements.
Concept introduction:
Conversion factor is a fraction obtained from a relationship between the units. It is written as a ratio, and can be inverted to give two conversion factors for every relationship.
Answer to Problem 67QP
Solution:
a)
