Question

complete each row of the table below by filling in the missing prefix or missing exponent.
1 pa = 10^(-2) pa
1 m pa = 10^ pa
1 pa = 10^(-9) pa
1 k pa = 10^ pa

Explanation:

Step1: Recall prefix - exponent relations

Prefixes in the metric system have specific exponent - based relationships with the base unit. For an exponent of - 2, the prefix is centi (c). So for $1\ \text{? Pa}=10^{-2}\ \text{Pa}$, the prefix is c.

Step2: Analyze milli - prefix

The prefix milli (m) corresponds to an exponent of - 3 in the base - unit relationship. So for $1\ \text{m Pa}=10^{\text{?}}\ \text{Pa}$, the exponent is - 3.

Step3: Recall nano - prefix

The prefix nano (n) corresponds to an exponent of - 9 in the base - unit relationship. So for $1\ \text{? Pa}=10^{-9}\ \text{Pa}$, the prefix is n.

Step4: Analyze kilo - prefix

The prefix kilo (k) corresponds to an exponent of 3 in the base - unit relationship. So for $1\ \text{k Pa}=10^{\text{?}}\ \text{Pa}$, the exponent is 3.

Answer:

Missing Prefix/Exponent	Value
Second row exponent	- 3
Third row prefix	n
Fourth row exponent	3
