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.

Energy comes from the Sun, plants and animals that we eat, to provide us with nutrients we need for energy.
Answer:
Negative z-direction
Explanation:
First of all, we need to understand the direction of the magnetic force on the proton. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. So we have:
- index finger: direction of the proton, positive x-direction
- middle finger: direction of magnetic field, positive y-direction
- thumb: direction of the force, positive z-direction
In order to balance this magnetic force, the electric force must act in the opposite direction (negative z direction). Since for a proton (positive charge) the force and the electric field have same direction, it means that the electric field must also be in the negative z direction.
I think it is either A or B. I’m mostly leaning towards B.
