Question

(18 points total) It's clear that we need to do more work with the metric prefixes. Your mission here is to go through all of the common prefixes (from peta- to tera-), state their numerical values and give at least one example of its use in a real quantity. Some outside research might be useful. You may ignore the rarely used deka-, hecto- and deci- (although people going into the health profession or world trade may need them). Up to an additional 12 points may be added for anyone who includes all of the more extreme prefixes (from yocto- to yotta-).

Explanation / Answer

Hi,

the mass–energy equivalence is 89.9 PJ/kg

a proton has a diameter of about 1.6 to 1.7 femtometres.

Go for those extra 12 points :)
