How many named large numbers are there?
An infinite number. If I count to one trillion, I can always count to one trillion one.
Is it easy to match the distances when they are in scientific notation?
Yes they are, if they are large numbers. You do not need to count how many digits there are.
Why are the very large and very small numbers usually written in powers of ten?
That gives a better overview. It's easier to compare two large numbers (or small numbers) written in scientific notation than if they are written out. When the numbers are written out, you have to count digits, which can be slow, error-prone, and basically useless. When the number is in scientific notation, the counting has basically already been done for you. To compare two numbers in normalized scientific notation, just compare the exponents.
Why you use commas when writing large numbers?
In representing large numbers, English texts use commas (or spaces) to separate each group of three digits. This is almost always done for numbers of six or more digits, and optionally for five (or even four) digits. This makes it easier to read the number without having to count how many place holders there are in the number as a whole.
Why was scientific notation designed?
To express astronomically large numbers in smaller context to do high level mathematical calculations mainly in space, it also used to calculate things on the opposite spectrum with small particles.
Why is dust particles countable?
If in large numbers,it is next to impossible to count the particles but, due to their rough exterior and brownish look,it is easy to identify and count them.
How many named large numbers are there?
An infinite number. If I count to one trillion, I can always count to one trillion one.
What is Uptake of large particles?
Uptake of large particles
Why was it important for Mendel to count large numbers of plants?
it gives him a more accurate description of the living plant.
Is it easy to match the distances when they are in scientific notation?
Yes they are, if they are large numbers. You do not need to count how many digits there are.
Why the unit of a mole is useful to a chemist?
Well with a simple calculation factor we can keep track of how many molecules there are (avagadro's number), and at the same time, we don't have to deal with ridiculously large numbers
What is made up of coarse large soil particles?
made up of course, large soil particles
Are particles large?
Not at all! Particles are tiny little things
What are the particles like in a rubber band?
the particles have large gaps in them
What are the functions of scientific notation?
To show very large or very small numbers, without writing out all the digits. To make it easy to compare such numbers, without having to count all the digits.
What is convention in terms of science?
the process that transfers energy by the movement of large numbers of particles in the same direction within a liquid or gas.
Process which cells get rid of large particles?
No, a cell lets in a large particle (like a large protein) during endocytosisExocytosis removes large particles
