Question

  1. the mass of a human cell is 0.0000000000001 kilograms. what is the mass of a human cell in scientific notation, in kilograms? × 10

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the non - zero digits

The non - zero digit in 0.0000000000001 is 1.

Step2: Determine the exponent

The decimal point needs to be moved 13 places to the right to get a number between 1 and 10. Since the original number is less than 1, the exponent of 10 is negative. So the exponent is - 13.

Answer:

$1\times10^{- 13}$
