Earth has a mass of 5,970,000 how would scientists express this in a number scientific notation

1 answer:

4 0

Taking into account the definition of Scientific notation, the correct representation of 5,970,000 in scientific notation is 5.97×10⁶.

<h3>Definition of scientific notation</h3>

Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base 10.

The numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
n is a whole number, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the point decimal is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

In this case, to write the number 5,970,000 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:

The decimal point is moved to the left as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit. This number will be the value of a in the previous expression. Then a = 5.97
The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the decimal point moves. This is a positive number because the decimal point is shifted to the left, and it will have a value of n = 6.

Finally, the correct representation of 5,970,000 in scientific notation is 5.97×10⁶.

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.18 cm.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.

Explanation:

Maximum speed is :

v (max) = Aω

Speed v at any displacement y is given by

$v^{2}$ = $w^{2}$ ( $A^{2}$ - $y^{2}$ ) ........................................................ i

And,

v = $\frac{1}{2}$ v (max)

or, 2 × v = Aω .................................................... ii

Eliminating ω from equations i and ii,

$\frac{1}{4}$ $A^{2}$ $w^{2}$ = $w^{2}$ ( $A^{2}$ - $y^{2}$ )

or, $y^{2}$ = ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) $A^{2}$ =( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) $2.18^{2}$

or, y = 3.56 cm.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$r=0.41m$

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

$\tau=r\times F$

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

$\tau=rFsin\theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when $sin\theta$ is equal to one, solving for r:

$r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m$

Aiden takes 0.10s to throw a baseball, which leaves his hand with a velocity of 49m/s. The balls acceleration is

Brums [2.3K]

Since the ball was not moving before it let Aiden's hand, the formula used to calculate the acceleration is
$a = \frac{v}{t}$
, where a is acceleration, v is velocity and t is the time. We put them in the formula and get
$a = \frac{49}{0.1} \\ a = \frac{490}{1} \\ a = 490$
The acceleration is 490 m/s^2
