the mass of earth is 5.97 x 10^24 kilograms. The mass of the moon is 7.34 x 10^22 kilograms.
Part A: What is the combined mass of earth and the moon? express your answer in scientific notation.
Part B: How many times greater is the mass of earth than the mass of the moon? express your answer in scientific notation
5.97 x 10^24 + 7.34 x 10^22
= 5.97 x 10^24 + .0734 x 10^24
= 6.0434 x 10^24
5.97 x 10^24 / 7.34 x 10^22
= (5.97/7.34) x 10^2
= .8133 x 10^2
= 8.133 x 10^1
I want the answer of total mass of earth and moon .
so please solve this problem.
thank you,
