Why write numbers in scientific notation
Understanding physics will help you describe in great detail how the world works. However, the characteristics of the world span an enormous range of numbers. The mass of an electron is 0.000000000000000000000000000000911 kg
(incredibly tiny!). The mass of the Sun is 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg
(incredibly massive!). If you had to write, interpret, or use these numbers as written, you could very easily end up making a minor math error. Scientific notation was invented to easily express numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. The advantages of scientific notation are it 1) is compact, 2) helps articulate significant figures, and 3) works with numbers of any size.
The traditional format for numbers written in scientific notation is m

is a number between 1 and 10 and n

- Problem 1. Mass-Energy conversion in the Sun (Palen, et. al. 3rd Edition, Chapter 11, problems 38, 39) The Sun produces energy by converting mass m into energy E according to E = mc2 where c is the speed of light (c = 300,000 km/sec). Show that if the Sun produces 3.85 × 1026 joules (J) of energy per second, it must convert 4.3 billion kg of mass per second into energy.
