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.

<h3>This case</h3>

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.

An airplane is flying at a speed of 45 m/s when it drops a 40 kg food package to the Polar exploration team. If the plane drops
Alina [70]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation, so the potential energy in the package must be equivalent to its kinetic energy. From there we will find the speed of the package in the vertical component. The horizontal component is given, as it is the same as the one the plane is traveling to. Vectorially we will end up finding its magnitude. So,

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

g = Gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity

v = \sqrt{2gh}

Replacing,

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(120)}

v = 48.49m/s

Using the vector properties the magnitude of the velocity vector would be given by,

|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

|V| = \sqrt{45^2+48.42^2}

|V| = 66.2m/s

Therefore the package is moving to 66.2m/s
