Earth weight is 5.9736 x 10^24 Kg and Venus is 4.8685 x 10^24 Kg. What is the combined weight of Earth and Venus ?
a)10.8421 X 10^26 Kg
b)10.8421 x 10^23 Kg
c)10.8421 x 10^25 Kg
d)1.08421 x 10^25 Kg
My answer is b
reiny your illogical
sooooooooooooooooo his school gave him those answers yell at the school not him
I have the same choices so idk
To find the combined weight of Earth and Venus, we simply need to add their weights together. Given that the weight of Earth is 5.9736 x 10^24 Kg and the weight of Venus is 4.8685 x 10^24 Kg, we can add them as follows:
(5.9736 x 10^24 Kg) + (4.8685 x 10^24 Kg)
We first need to ensure that both values are written in scientific notation with the same exponent. In this case, we can convert the weight of Venus to scientific notation as:
4.8685 x 10^24 Kg
Now our equation becomes:
(5.9736 x 10^24 Kg) + (4.8685 x 10^24 Kg)
To add these numbers, we only need to add the coefficients (the numbers before the "x 10^24"). Therefore, the combined weight is:
5.9736 + 4.8685 = 10.8421
Since we are working with scientific notation, we multiply the result by 10^24 to represent the correct units. Therefore, the combined weight of Earth and Venus is:
10.8421 x 10^24 Kg
The answer is option c) 10.8421 x 10^24 Kg.
your choice is totally illogical.
How can their combined weight be less than each of the parts ??
Are you just guessing, hoping for somebody to just tell you the answer?
