  1. EXERCISING WITH EXPONENTS Uses of Exponents in Real Life By Patricia Crocker

  2. Parts of an Exponent

  3. Generations in Powers of Two

  4. Why We Need Exponents • To write large numbers and small numbers more efficiently. 4,504,000,000 or .0000003847 • To compute with large and small numbers more easily. 3,000,000,000 x 478,000,000

  5. To work with very large or small numbers on a calculator. 4.67892305 E 25 • To write variable expressions more concisely.

  13. Nanotube Molecule • A carbon nanotube is a layer graphite that has been rolled up into a cylinder. • Depending on the way in which it is rolled, one can produce a conducting, semi-conducting, or insulating nanotube. • Diameters are between 1 and 10 nanometers or .000000001 Composed by Dr. Jiri Kolafa, Prague Institute of Technology.

  19. Earthquake SeverityRichter Magnitudes • Under 3.5 • Generally not felt, but recorded • 3.5 – 4.8 • Dishes rattle; hanging objects sway • People indoors feel movement. • Doors swing; dishes break; liquids spill. • 4.8 – 6.2 • People have difficulty walking and standing. • Furniture moves; pictures and loose bricks fall. • Drivers feel cars shaking • Slight damage to well-built buildings; considerable damage in poorly built buildings.

  20. 6.2 – 7.3 • Difficulty steering cars; houses shift • Houses move off foundations; ground cracks • Buildings destroyed; large landslides occur • Greater than 7.0 is a major earthquake. • 7.3 – 8.9 • Roads break up; most buildings collapse; large cracks in ground; underground pipes destroyed • Greater than 8.0 is a great earthquake. Magnitude and Intensity of Earthquakes. www.geo.arizona.edu/K-12/azpepp/education/history/chile/mag_int.html Seismic Intensity Scales. www.il-st-acad-sci.org/ingdom/geo1001.html

  21. Meaning of Richter Scale • All earthquakes are compared to a zero-level earthquake whose seismographic reading measures .001 mm at a distance of 100 km from the epicenter. • A magnitude of 1 means that the intensity is 10 times a zero-level quake. • A magnitude of 2 means the intensity is 100 times a zero-level quake or 102.

  22. Magnitude Times a zero-level quake • 1 101 10 • 2 102 100 • 3 103 1000 • . • . • 9 109 ? • Each magnitude is 10 times greater than the preceding magnitude.

  23. Formula for Richter Scale

  24. Great San Francisco Earthquake Apr. 18, 1906 • Magnitude of 8.3 • Much destruction since buildings were not constructed for earthquakes • Mayor gave order for police to “shoot to kill” looters

  28. Alaska – Mar. 27, 1964Good Friday Quake • Magnitude of 8.4 • Largest ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere • 2nd largest of the 20th century • Tsunami reached California and Hawaii Courtesy of Tom Irvine. Website: www.vibrationdata.com/earthquakes/alaska.htm

  29. Chile – May 22, 1960 • Magnitude of 8.5 • Largest ever recorded • One-third of all buildings in the country were destroyed

  30. Loma Prieta, CA Oct. 17, 1989 • Magnitude of 7.0 • Occurred at 5:04 PM just before the 3rd game of the World Series (Oakland vs. San Francisco) • Part of San Francisco Bay Bridge and Nimitz freeway collapsed Courtesy of sfmuseum.org, The Virtual Museum of San Francisco

  31. Central Virginia Earthquake • Magnitude of 4.5 • Where were you when it struck? • Did you feel it? • Have you experienced an earthquake anywhere else?
