It would be extremely inconvenient, inefficient, cumbersome, and annoying ( if even possible ) to make measurements of submicroscopic life forms and cross-continental terrain with the same instruments. Scientific notation provides us with a condensed method of expressing both large and small quantities alike. In addition to convenience and practicality, scientific notation reduces the chancesContinue reading “AP PHYSICS: Scientific Notation”
