Question

The mass of the Earth is 5.972x10^24 kg. the mass of the moon is 7.3 x 10^22kg. find the total mass, in kg, of the Earth and the moon. give your answer in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

6045000000000000000000000 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the mass of Earth is $5.972\times10^{24}$ kg. The mass of the Moon is $7.3\times10^{22}$ kg.

To find the total mass we will add mass of Earth and Moon.

First of all let us convert the given masses in standard form.

$5.972\times10^{24}=5972000000000000000000000$  

$7.3\times10^{22}=73000000000000000000000$

$5.972\times10^{24}+7.3\times10^{22}$  

$5972000000000000000000000+73000000000000000000000$

$6045000000000000000000000$

Therefore, the mass of Earth and Moon is 6045000000000000000000000 kg.
