Answer 2

Mass of proton is $1.675*10^{-30}$ kg in scientific notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Scientific notation is a shorthand method of writing very small and very large numbers, here numbers are expressed in terms of exponents of 10.

• Scientific notation is a way to assess the order of magnitude and to visually decrease the zeros that the student sees.

• The proper format for scientific notation is $a*10^{b}$ where $a$ is the number or decimal number such that it's absolute value is greater than or equal to one and less than ten i.e. $1\leq |a|<10$ and $b$ is the exponent of $10$.

• A positive exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the right. A negative exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the left.

Calculation:

$0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 001675$ in scientific notation is:

$1.675*10^{-30}$ kg.
