earth's radius is approximately 3,959 miles, while jupiter's radius is approximately 4.3441 * 10^4 miles. how much bigger is jupiter's radius compared to earth's? express your answer in scientific notation.
To find the difference between the high end and the low end of the range, we subtract the low end from the high end.
High end: 2.329 * 10^-2 cm per hour
Low end: 6.849 * 10^-4 cm per hour
2.329 * 10^-2 - 6.849 * 10^-4
To subtract these numbers, we need to make sure the exponents of 10 are the same. We can do this by converting both numbers to the same power of 10, which in this case will be 10^-4.
2.329 * 10^-2 = 2.329 * 10^-4 * 10^2
6.849 * 10^-4 = 6.849 * 10^-4 * 10^0
Now we can subtract:
2.329 * 10^-4 * 10^2 - 6.849 * 10^-4 * 10^0
Taking out the common factor of 10^-4:
10^-4 * (2.329 * 10^2 - 6.849 * 10^0)
2.329 * 10^2 - 6.849 * 10^0 = 2.329 * 100 - 6.849
= 232.9 - 6.849
= 226.051
Therefore, the difference between the high end and the low end of the range is 2.26051 * 10^2 cm per hour.
human hair grows at a rate of about 6.849*10^-4 cm per hour to 2.329*10^-2 cm per hour. the rate depends on gender, genetics, age, and health. find the difference between the high end and the low end of the range. express your answer in scientific notation. do not round your answer
To calculate how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can use the formula:
Bigger Radius = Jupiter's Radius - Earth's Radius
Given:
Earth's Radius = 3,959 miles
Jupiter's Radius = 4.3441 * 10^4 miles
Substituting the values into the formula:
Bigger Radius = (4.3441 * 10^4) - 3,959
To express the answer in scientific notation, we need to convert 3,959 to scientific notation as well.
3,959 = 3.959 * 10^3
Now we can calculate the difference:
Bigger Radius = (4.3441 * 10^4) - (3.959 * 10^3)
To subtract the two values, we need to have the same exponent:
Bigger Radius = (4.3441 * 10^4) - (0.3959 * 10^4)
Bigger Radius = 3.9482 * 10^4
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 3.9482 * 10^4 miles bigger than Earth's radius.
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we can take the ratio of their radii. The formula for the ratio is:
Ratio = Jupiter's radius / Earth's radius
Now let's substitute the values:
Ratio = 4.3441 * 10^4 miles / 3,959 miles
To simplify the division, we can convert both radii to scientific notation with the same exponent. To do this, we convert Earth's radius to scientific notation as well:
Earth's radius = 3,959 miles = 3.959 * 10^3 miles
Now we have:
Ratio = 4.3441 * 10^4 miles / 3.959 * 10^3 miles
To divide the numbers, we can divide their decimal parts and subtract the exponents:
Ratio = (4.3441 / 3.959) * 10^(4 - 3)
Simplifying the division, we have:
Ratio = 1.097 * 10^1
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is approximately 1.097 * 10^1 (which is 10.97) times bigger than Earth's radius.
To find out how much bigger Jupiter's radius is compared to Earth's, we need to divide Jupiter's radius by Earth's radius.
4.3441 * 10^4 miles / 3,959 miles
To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents of 10 and divide the base numbers:
4.3441 / 3,959 = 1.0967
Next, we compare the exponents of 10:
10^4 / 10^0 = 10^4
Therefore, Jupiter's radius is 1.0967 * 10^4 times bigger than Earth's radius.
