Answer:

2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form of a \times 10^n, where  1\leq a < 10  and  n is any positive or negative whole number.

To <u>convert</u> a number into <u>scientific notation</u>, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is <u>one digit before the decimal point.</u>

The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 (n).

If the decimal point has moved to the <u>left</u>, the power is <u>positive</u>.

If the decimal point has moved to the <u>right</u>, the power is <u>negative</u>.

<u>To convert the given number to scientific notation</u>

The decimal point for the given number 299000000 is after the last zero:

⇒  299000000.

Move the decimal point 8 places to the left:  

⇒ 2.99000000

Get rid of the redundant zeros:

⇒ 2.99

Multiply by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places moved:  

⇒ 2.99 x 10⁸

Therefore, the speed of light using scientific notation is:

  • 2.99 x 10⁸ meters per second
