Prefixes and Scientific Notation | Physics - Basics

⬇️ Check out the Physics Lab website for lessons, study guides, practice problems and more! https://physicslab.app/?utm_source=yo... The numbers we deal with in normal life are pretty easy to write. But in physics, we might be working with really big and really small numbers. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 149,597,870,000 meters. The wavelength of green light is 0.00000054 meters. Lucky for us, there are better ways to write these numbers: words, prefixes and scientific notation. ⬇️ Here's an invite to the Physics Lab discord server - get help with physics questions and chat with other students https://physicslab.app/p/discord 00:00 Intro 00:35 Really big and really small numbers 02:27 Prefixes 04:30 Scientific notation 07:59 Scientific notation shortcut 11:18 Summary #physics #APphysics #APphysics1
