The speed of light in vacuum is approximately 300,000,000 kilometers per second, which is rounded from 299,792,458 kilometers per second. What is the maximum number of trailing zeros that can possibly significant?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:8Step-by-step explanation:Trailing zeros, defined as the right most zeros are significant when there is a decimal point in the number.For example 400. has three significant figuresThe speed of light in vacuum is 300,000,000 km/s. This can be written as;3.0×10⁸ km/sHere we have 8 trailing zeros that are significant.
