Roughly, it takes light less than 0.000000003 of a second to travel a one-meter distance. Express this number in the form of a × 10™ where 1 < a < 10 and is a one-digit number. (1 point)
3 × 10^-8
3 × 10^9
3 × 10^8
3 × 10^-9
no i got it wrong :/
I apologize for the incorrect answer. Let me calculate it correctly for you.
To express the number in the form of a × 10^m, where 1 < a < 10 and m is an integer, we can write:
0.000000003 = 3 × 10^-9
Therefore, the correct answer is 3 × 10^-9.

To find the answer to this question, we need to express the given time in scientific notation. Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers by using powers of 10.
The given time is less than 0.000000003 seconds. To convert this to scientific notation, we move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. For each movement of the decimal point, we decrease the exponent of 10 by 1.
In this case, we need to move the decimal point 9 places to the right to get the number 3, which gives us:
3 × 10^-9
Therefore, the answer is 3 × 10^-9.
