Question

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Express in scientific notation: 4,571,100 m=4.5711×10⁶ m. Step 2: The power of ten closest in logarithmic order is 10⁶ since 4.5711<√10? Actually 4.5711>√10. Step 3: Under the common significant-power/exponent convention used in the PDF, the exponent is written as 6; strict nearest power of ten would be 10⁷. Check the intended definition.
