Question

Determine the values of m and n when the following charge of a proton is written in scientific notation:

0.000000000000000000160 C.
Enter m and n, separated by commas.

Answer 1

Answer:

Scientific notation = 1.60 × 10^-19 C

m = 1.60

n = -19

Explanation:Explanation:

Scientific notation is written in the form;

m × 10^n

Where m = a number between 1 and 10

And n is the power or exponent.

To convert

0.000000000000000000160 C

we need to know the number of movement of the decimal before we reach a number between 1 and 10.

There are 19 movement to reach 1.60 and since the movement is to the right then the power carries a negative sign. So, the scientific notation is given as;

m × 10^n = 1.60 × 10^-19 C

m = 1.60

n = -19

Answer 2
