Question

Determine the values of m and n when the following mass of the Earth is written in scientific notation: 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mass of the Earth is equal to,

$m=5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000\ kg$

Any number can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

$N=m\times 10^n$

m is the real number

n is any integer

Mass of the earth can be written in the form of scientific notation as :

$m=5.97\times 10^{24}\ m$

Here,

m = 5.97

n = 24

Hence, this is the required solution.
