Question

The radius of a one solar mass black hole is 2950m. Which distance below is smaller than the radius of a one solar mass black hole?

a. Sun's Radius (6.955X10^8m)

b. Distance between the Sun and Mercury 5.8X10^10m

c. Distance between the Sun and Venus (1.1X10^11m)

d.Distance between the Sun and the Earth (1.5X10^11m)

e.None

Answer 1

e.None

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is writing the radius of a one solar mass black hole in scientific notation, that is, the decimal part must be between 1 and 9.

I am going to do this step by step

`2950 = 295*10^(1) = 29.5*10^(2) = 2.95*10^(3)`

`2.95*10^(3)` is the scientific notation of 2950m. This distance has a lower exponent of 10 than any of those distances in a,b,c,d. So, the correct answer is letter e.
