Scale of the Universe Part 3 Worksheet
Rounding Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible and rounded to 2 decimal places.
For Example: 234.5678 = 2.34 x 10^2 or 0.234 = 2.34 x 10^-1 or 2.34 = 2.34 x 10^0
Data Entry Note: Because Moodle doesn't understand English, you will need to enter the scientific numbers into
Moodle using computer shorthand where "e" means "x 10 to the power of whatever follows". We will use that
format here to give you practice before doing your post-lab.
For Example: 234567 = 2.34 x 10^5 should be entered "2.34e5" and 0.23456 = 2.34 x 10^-1 should be entered "2.34e-1".
