Question
Convert each of the following time measurements to its equivalent in seconds. (Chapter 1 )a. 58 nsc. 9270 msb. $0.046 \mathrm{Gs}$d. $12.3 \mathrm{ks}$
Step 1
We know that 1 ns = $10^{-9}$ seconds. So, we multiply 58 by $10^{-9}$ to get the equivalent in seconds. \[58 \text{ ns} = 58 \times 10^{-9} \text{ seconds} = 5.8 \times 10^{-8} \text{ seconds}\] Show more…

Converting Units
The following times are given in seconds. Use metric prefixes to rewrite them so the numerical value is greater than one but less than $1000 .$ For example, $7.9 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{s}$ could be written as either 7.9 cs or 79 ms. (a) $9.57 \times 10^{5}$ s; (b) $0.045 \mathrm{s} ;$ (c) $5.5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{s} ;$ (d) $3.16 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{s}$
Write the abbreviation for each unit. (a) 8.6 microseconds (b) 45 nanoseconds (c) 75 picoseconds
