Answer:

I) There are 8.760\times 10^3 hours in 1 year.

II) The exact number of hours in one year is 8.76582\times 10^3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 1 hour=3600 seconds

1 year = 31556952 seconds.

To find :

I)  Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year.

1 day = 24 hours

1 year = 365 days

So, number of hours in one year is given by,

n=24\times 365

n=8760

In scientific notation,

8760=8.760\times 10^3

So, there are 8.760\times 10^3 hours in 1 year.

II) 1 year = 31556952 seconds.

1 hour = 3600 seconds

In one year the number of hour is given by,

n=\frac{31556952}{3600}

n=8765.82

In scientific notation,

8765.82=8.76582\times 10^3

So, the exact number of hours in one year is 8.76582\times 10^3 hours.

III) In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences.

  • The exact numbers of hours using 365 days is 8760 which is written as 8.760\times 10^3 in scientific notation but using the given data we get 8.76582\times 10^3 hours.
  • Comparing these answers the first one has only 3 significant figures and the second answer has six significant figures.
  • If we round these we get 8.8\times 10^3 hours which has two significant numbers.
