Density's correlation with impact force. 
The U.S army uses DU (Depleted Uranium) for its density. DU is 60% denser than lead and since the relationship between Density and impact force is exponential, a projectile made out of DU hits with 60*60 = 360% of the force of a lead projectile.

pH Scales
The pH scale is an example of an application of the concept of exponents in the real world. This scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. pH tests are consistently and regularly performed in public swimming pools in order to maintain a pH between 7.0-7.4 in order to ensure the ideal comfort level for the public, as well as effective chlorine action. A pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with a pH of 7 being neutral. A substance with a reading higher than 7 is basic, and one with a lower reading is acidic. 

The pH scale is logarithmic, and as a result each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, a substance with a reading of 5.0 is 10 times more acidic than that of a substance with 6.0, and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than that of a substance with a neutral pH. The same goes for pH values above neutral, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, a substance with a reading of 10.0 is ten times more alkaline than one with a reading of 9.0, and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than a substance with a reading of 8.0.

The Richter Scale measures the intensity of earthquakes. There are 10 levels of intensity on the Richter Scale, each level 10 times stronger than the last. For example, a 3 magnitude earthquake is 10 times stronger than a 2 magnitude earthquake. This is where exponents come in. Exponents are used to show how many times stronger an earthquake has grown, or is compared to a different earthquake. For example, a 6 magnitude earthquake would be shown as 10^3 (10 to the power of 3) times stronger than a 3 magnitude earthquake.

Nominal Rates in Finance
To know how much interest you can make per week or per day, we can use nominal rates. Nominal rate is basically compound interest with a few adjustments.  The formula we get is down below. S= final amount, P=the initial investment, r=interest rate, m=the amount of periods where you earn interest for example if it is for compounding annually, then m would be 1 but if it was to be compounding daily, then m would be 265. It all depends on how many times you get the interest. Finally, n=m*t where t is the amount of time in years.

Many platforming games use an algorithm that will double the speed of falling every 1 second or so. Therefore, exponents must be used. If you start falling at 1 m/s, then the equation 
s = 2^t-1 can be used to find the falling speed after a number of seconds. t = number of second and s = speed. If you want to know the speed after falling 6 seconds, then s = 2^6-1. 
s = 32m/s at 6 seconds.

Many invasive species, or any species in general, grow exponentially. An example of this is a zebra mussel. Zebra mussels can produce 1 million eggs each year. If we assume that they live for three years, they will have produced 3 million more zebra mussels. This cycle will continue with more zebra mussels growing over each year. After 9 years there would be 3,000,000^3 (if don't factor in deaths). After 30 years the number of zebra mussels would be 3,000,000^10(not including deaths).

Radioactive decay in chemistry is the exponential process of radioactive elements emitting mass as they change forms. Exponents are used in the formulas to graph the decay, which is shown in terms of half-lives (the duration for an element to decay 50%.) As an example, the graph depicting the decay of the radioactive element Cobalt-60 (Co-60, having a half life of 5.2747 years) shows that at 0 half-lives, the percentage of Co-60 remaining is 100% at a hypothetical 10 g. At 1 half-life, the percent and weight halves to 50% and 5 g, and at 2 half-lives, the percentage and weight further halves to 25% and 2.5 g (¼ of the original amount after being halved twice.) This exponential curve then further continues to display the decay (½, ¼. ⅛, 1/16… of the original amount). The exponential function can be found with the growth/decay formula of A = Pe^rt , where A is equal to the remaining amount of the material, Pe is the original amount of the material, r is the growth or decay rate (in this case -50% as the percentage halves) and t is time (in units of the half-life of the element).

Any time that a scientific field uses a scale, like the pH scale or the Richter scale, you can bet you will find exponents. Both the pH scale and the Richter scale are logarithmic relationships with each whole number representing a ten-fold increase from the number before it.          For example, when chemists indicate a substance has a pH of 7, they know this represents 107 while a substance with a pH of 8 represents 108. This means that the substance with the pH of 8 is 10 times more basic than the substance with the pH of 7.

Bacteria can double in around 25 minutes. To find how many bacteria have been formed in a certain amount of time, the equation would be (1 bacteria)*2^((time that has passed in minutes)/(25 minutes))

Exponents are used in finance and interest. So, interest follows and exponential rate .
F(final amount)= P(principal)(1+I/N(number of times interest is compounded))^T(number of years).
Also, you can spot exponential rates in debts and investiments.

Density's correlation with impact force. 

# data[].attributes.body
The U.S army uses DU (Depleted Uranium) for its density. DU is 60% denser than lead and since the relationship between Density and impact force is exponential, a projectile made out of DU hits with 60*60 = 360% of the force of a lead projectile.

The pH scale is an example of an application of the concept of exponents in the real world. This scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. pH tests are consistently and regularly performed in public swimming pools in order to maintain a pH between 7.0-7.4 in order to ensure the ideal comfort level for the public, as well as effective chlorine action. A pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with a pH of 7 being neutral. A substance with a reading higher than 7 is basic, and one with a lower reading is acidic.

The pH scale is logarithmic, and as a result each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, a substance with a reading of 5.0 is 10 times more acidic than that of a substance with 6.0, and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than that of a substance with a neutral pH. The same goes for pH values above neutral, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, a substance with a reading of 10.0 is ten times more alkaline than one with a reading of 9.0, and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than a substance with a reading of 8.0.

The Bernoulli Trial is a theory that is used in the field of Communication Systems. In order to ensure reliable communication or data transfer over an unreliable communication channel. Computer Scientists will use re-transmissions until the message is received by the receiver correctly. The transmission success rate on the nth try is p^(n-1)*(1-p), where p is the probability for failure.

Scientific notation is a very commonly used way of expressing extremely large numbers such as the mass of the sun, or extremely small numbers. Scientific notation consists of a number multiplied by 10 to the exponent of x to give an approximate or sometimes exact answer.

The Richter Scale measures the intensity of earthquakes. There are 10 levels of intensity on the Richter Scale, each level 10 times stronger than the last. For example, a 3 magnitude earthquake is 10 times stronger than a 2 magnitude earthquake. This is where exponents come in. Exponents are used to show how many times stronger an earthquake has grown, or is compared to a different earthquake. For example, a 6 magnitude earthquake would be shown as 10^3 (10 to the power of 3) times stronger than a 3 magnitude earthquake.

To know how much interest you can make per week or per day, we can use nominal rates. Nominal rate is basically compound interest with a few adjustments.  The formula we get is down below. S= final amount, P=the initial investment, r=interest rate, m=the amount of periods where you earn interest for example if it is for compounding annually, then m would be 1 but if it was to be compounding daily, then m would be 265. It all depends on how many times you get the interest. Finally, n=m*t where t is the amount of time in years.

Many platforming games use an algorithm that will double the speed of falling every 1 second or so. Therefore, exponents must be used. If you start falling at 1 m/s, then the equation
s = 2^t-1 can be used to find the falling speed after a number of seconds. t = number of second and s = speed. If you want to know the speed after falling 6 seconds, then s = 2^6-1.
s = 32m/s at 6 seconds.

Calculating compound interest requires exponents. The formula is A = P(1 + r/n)^nt, where A is the amount of money you get after a certain amount of number of years. P is the money you begin with and R is the interest rate. The interest rate must be inputted as a decimal for it to work.
N is the number of times your interest is compounded annually and T is the total amount of years.

Many invasive species, or any species in general, grow exponentially. An example of this is a zebra mussel. Zebra mussels can produce 1 million eggs each year. If we assume that they live for three years, they will have produced 3 million more zebra mussels. This cycle will continue with more zebra mussels growing over each year. After 9 years there would be 3,000,000^3 (if don't factor in deaths). After 30 years the number of zebra mussels would be 3,000,000^10(not including deaths). Invasive species are a real world example of exponents.

Radioactive decay in chemistry is the exponential process of radioactive elements emitting mass as they change forms. Exponents are used in the formulas to graph the decay, which is shown in terms of half-lives (the duration for an element to decay 50%.) As an example, the graph depicting the decay of the radioactive element Cobalt-60 (Co-60, having a half life of 5.2747 years) shows that at 0 half-lives, the percentage of Co-60 remaining is 100% at a hypothetical 10 g. At 1 half-life, the percent and weight halves to 50% and 5 g, and at 2 half-lives, the percentage and weight further halves to 25% and 2.5 g (¼ of the original amount after being halved twice.) This exponential curve then further continues to display the decay (½, ¼. ⅛, 1/16… of the original amount). The exponential function can be found with the growth/decay formula of A = Pe^rt , where A is equal to the remaining amount of the material, Pe is the original amount of the material, r is the growth or decay rate (in this case -50% as the percentage halves) and t is time (in units of the half-life of the element).

If there is a tournament that follows the rule that if you lose, you are eliminated, then that tournament will have an exponential aspect as to find how many players are left. Example: If there are 128 players in the tournament then after the first round there will be 128/(2^1) players remaining. After the third round there will be 128/(2^3) players remaining which is = 16 players left.

Diseases are often spread through the amount of people infected and said spread and properties of the spread are often calculated and graphed with exponents. If one person has an illness and they infect 2 people, then those 2 people also each infect 2 people... etc. There will be rapid spreading of the disease as time progresses, infecting more and more people. This could also be the case for anything that is “spread” around such as advertising and information.

Exponents are often used to describe how much memory or RAM a computer holds. E.g. According to google, the definition for a gigabyte is "a unit of information equal to one billion (10⁹)." 1 gigabyte in a computer is also equal to 1*10⁹ bytes.

This was created similarly to the earthquake strength scale except by measuring the wave height since tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. The vibration of earthquakes expands from the perimeter which will continue to grow as well. AMaking the tsunami grow exponentially (until the waves weakens of course). For example, an 11 point tsunami is 16 meters high or 2^4 while a 12 point tsunami (the largest one) is 32 meters high or 2^5.

When you fold paper in Origami or in other crafts, the width of the paper will be 2x the width before you folded it. If you keep folding the piece of paper, the width will keep doubling and it will grow exponentially. Hypothetically if you folded a piece of paper 45 times, the length of the widths would reach to the moon!

Snowballs start out as very small little things. However, as you roll a snowball on the ground, it gets a larger volume, and thereby a larger surface area. This means the snowball can gain more snow, even when covering the same amount of space. Therefore, snowballs grow exponentially.

When a species starts out, there aren't very many organisms in that species. However, as more members of the species reproduce, there are more of them to be reproducing, causing the population of said species to increase exponentially. This means reproduction and population growth are examples of real-life exponents.

When trying to find possible combinations, exponential factorial (generally called factorial) is commonly used. The way it works is by having n raised by n-1, which is raised by n-2, and so on. It can also be represented by the ! symbol. An example would be when trying to find the possibilities a deck of cards could be shuffled in, which is 54!.

When you deposit money in a bank, you receive a certain percentage interest each year depending on how much money you deposited.

Your money increases exponentially because, each year, the interest is calculated based on the amount of money you deposited plus the amount of interest you received in previous years multiplied by the interest rate.

Computers run on binary which is a base 2 counting system for an on and an off state, binary is cross converted to our base 10 number system by using exponents.

In binary, the number in the ones digit is placed in the exponent spot of 2 and that is converted into base 10.

When scientists and people want to describe an extremely large number, they use scientific notation. The large number is turned into a single digit number (sometimes with decimals) times 10^of however many places the decimal point was shifted forward. A good example of this is how many km is in a light year, which is about 9.461*10^12 kilometers.
