Question

Write the scientific notation of velocity of light, velocity of sound, distance between sun and earth, and other astronomical distances which you come across in your science text book.

Answer 1

Hey there,

In scientific notation, We express very large numbers or very small numbers as a combination of a decimal number between 0 & 9 and a Power of 10.

a) Velocity of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s

b) Velocity of sound in air = 3.43 * 10^2 m/s

c) Distance between sun and earth = 149,600,000 km.

Scientific notation = 1.496 * 10 ^8 km

Answer 2

HELLO DEAR,

In scientific notation, We express very large numbers or very small numbers in the form of a decimal number between 0 to 9 and Power of 1 to 10.

a) Velocity of light = 300000000m/s

scientific notation = 3 * 10^8 m/s

b) Velocity of sound in air = 342m/s

scientific notation = 3.43 * 10^2 m/s

c) Distance between sun and earth = 149,600,000 km. (or approx 150000000km)

Scientific notation = 1.496 * 10 ^8 km

I HOPE IT'S HELP YOU DEAR,

THANKS
