Answer:

Force = 3.591 * 10⁵ Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5.7 * 10⁶ kg

Acceleration = 6.3 * 10^-2 m/s²

To express the force as a scientific notation;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 5.7 * 10⁶ * 6.3 * 10^-2

Force = 359100 Newton

In scientific notation;

A number is said to be written in scientific notation when we multiply the numbers between 1 and 10 by a power of 10.

Force = 3.591 * 10⁵ Newton
