Question

Determine the values of mm and nn when the following mass of the Earth is written in scientific notation: 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kgkg. Enter mm and nn, separated by commas.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of the Earth, $m=5.97\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Explanation:

The mass of the Earth is equal to :

m = 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg

We need to write the mass of the Earth in the form of scientific notation. Any number is written in the form of scientific notation as :

$N=a\times 10^b$

a is any real number

b is any integer

There are 22 zeroes in the mass of Earth. In scientific notation mass of the Earth is given by :

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

Hence, this is the required solution.
