how many microns make up 1 K.m
Homework Equations
prefixes for SI units
The Attempt at a Solution
i really can't attempt it because i have no idea what to do, i forgot how to do this stuff
afcwestwarrior said:ok dokie
afcwestwarrior said:10^9 microns equal 1 km
1,000m/1km * 1 micro u/1*10^-6=10^9
afcwestwarrior said:No it wasn't. I'm very rusty on my physics and Calculus.
The formula for converting kilometers to micrometers is: 1 kilometer = 1,000,000 micrometers. This means that to convert kilometers to micrometers, you need to multiply the number of kilometers by 1,000,000.
There are 1,000,000 micrometers in 1 kilometer. This conversion is based on the metric system, where 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters, and 1 meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters, and so on.
No, kilometers and micrometers cannot be converted directly without using a formula. A conversion factor is needed to convert between different units of measurement, and in this case, the conversion factor is 1,000,000.
Kilometers and micrometers are units of length, but they differ in their scale. A kilometer is a larger unit, equal to 1,000 meters, while a micrometer is a smaller unit, equal to 0.000001 meters. This means that there are 1,000,000 micrometers in 1 kilometer.
Someone may need to convert kilometers to micrometers for various reasons, such as in scientific calculations or engineering projects that require precise measurements. It is also useful when working with very small distances, such as in nanotechnology or microbiology.
