Question

estimate the order of magnitude of the length in meters of each of the following:
a. a ladybug
b. your leg
c. your school building
d. a giraffe
e. a city block

Answer 1

that is just asking how long is each thing so find the length of your arm a lady bug etc. in meters just use a meter stick or a ruler or google the length of a lady buy or a city block

Answer 2

magnitude is just a fancy way of saying how much

Answer 3

the idea im guessing is teaching scalar and vector measurements so scalars have only a magnitude and vectors have a magnitude and direction

Answer 4

so a scalar is 40 meters you know how long it is but it has no direction it is just 40 meters
where as 40 meters east is scalar you know how long it is and where it is in relation to a certain point
