Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the given number: 0.0035 kg.
Recall that scientific notation expresses a number as \(a \times 10^{n}\), where \(1 \leq a < 10\) and \(n\) is an integer.
Move the decimal point in 0.0035 to the right until you get a number between 1 and 10. Here, moving the decimal 3 places to the right gives 3.5.
Since you moved the decimal 3 places to the right, multiply by \(10^{-3}\) to keep the value the same.
Write the number in scientific notation as \(3.5 \times 10^{-3}\) kg.
