Scientific Notation Exercises

THE cientific notation is used to simply express numbers that are too small or too large.

In scientific notation, numbers are represented as follows:

$\dpi{120} \mathbf{a\cdot 10^m}$

Being The a real number, with $\dpi{120} \mathrm{1\leq \mathbf{a}<10}$ and m a integer.

See formulas for performing operations with scientific notation.

Addition:

$\dpi{120} \mathbf{a\cdot 10^{m} + b\cdot 10^{m} = (a+b)\cdot 10^{m}}$

Subtraction:

$\dpi{120} \mathbf{a\cdot 10^{m} - b\cdot 10^{m} = (a-b)\cdot 10^{m}}$

Multiplication:

$\dpi{120} \mathbf{a\cdot 10^{m} \cdot b\cdot 10^{n} = (a\cdot b)\cdot 10^{m+n}}$

Division:

$\dpi{120} \mathbf{a\cdot 10^{m}: b\cdot 10^{n} = (a: b)\cdot 10^{m-n}}$

Therefore, in scientific notation, the distance between Earth and Sun is $\dpi{120} 1, 496 \cdot 10^8$ .

Resolution of question 8

To answer this question, it is enough to note that the exponent is negative in both masses. So the two quantities are less than 1, they are decimal numbers.

Therefore, the larger the exponent, the smaller the mass.

Thus, between the proton and the electron, the one with the greatest mass is the proton.
