How to change 0.000 007 8 s to us?

1 answer:

8 0

The letter u before any unit means micro. Micro is a unit prefix used in the metric system which actually means a factor of 10^-6 (one millionth).

Now, 10^-6 is equivalent to a movement of 6 decimal places from left to right. So to write the number 0.0000078 s into a number which has a unit of us, therefore we move the decimal place by 6 to the right, giving us:

7.8 us

Another way to do this is to multiply the number by 1 million (1,000,000), so:

0.0000078 * 1,000,000

Using the calculator to solve, we get the value:

7.8 us

A fence 8 ft high (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft (d) from it. Find the length (L) of the shortest ladder t

AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

$Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2$

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

$Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}$

$L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2$ ........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

$\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}$

BC = $\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}$ .................2

Substitute 2 into 1

$L^2$ = $(\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2$ + $(24 + AE)^2$

Let AE = x

$L^2$ = $(\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2$

= $(8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2$

Minimize L with respect to x.

2 $\frac{dL}{dx}$ = $2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)$
