Answer 1

Given

A satellite orbiting the earth travels

`2.6*10^8m`

Find

Best way to rewrite this quantity using more appropriate units

Step-by-step explanation

by using more appropriate units , we can rewrite this quantity in Kilometers.

so , 1000 m = 1 km

hence , the quantity becomes

`\begin{gathered} (2.6*10^8)/(1000) \\ \\ 2.6*10^5km \end{gathered}`

Final Answer

`2.6*10^5km`
