Lessons 12: Choice of Units Goal: determine appropriate units for various measurements and rewrite measurements based on new units. Warm Up Exercises 1-3 for Lesson 12
We Do Gigaelectronvolt Is kilogram the best measure for the mass of a proton? 1 gigaelectronvolt = 1.783 x 10-27 kg Mass of 1 proton = 1.672622 x 10-27 kg Convert the mass of a proton from kilograms to gigaelectronvolts.(Exercise 4)
1 gigaelectronvolt = 1.783 x 10-27 kg Mass of 1 proton = 1.672622 x 10-27 kg Let x be the number of gigaelectronvolts equal to the mass of a proton.

Lesson 13: Comparison of Numbers in Scientific Notation Comparing Magnitude Goal: compare numbers expressed in scientific notation.
Lesson 13: Comparison of Numbers in Scientific Notation We Do Leo I Dwarf How do we know?
Lesson 13: Comparison of Numbers in Scientific Notation You Try Exercise 1 Fornax Dwarf is closer because a number to the 5th magnitude is smaller than a number to the 6th magnitude.
Lesson 13: Comparison of Numbers in Scientific Notation You Try Exercise 2 The tau lepton has a longer average lifetime because 10-13 has a greater magnitude than 10-17.
