Answer:
The scaled down mass of Mercury will be 3.099 × 10¹⁵ kg
Explanation:
Here, we have that mass of Mercury = 3.285 × 10²³ kg
Given that the entire solar system is scaled down by a factor of 106,000,000, we have that the scaled down mass of Mercury will be found as follows;
[tex]Scaled \ down \ mass \ of \, Mercury=\frac{mass \ of \, Mercury}{Scale \, factor}[/tex]
[tex]Scaled \ down \ mass \ of \, Mercury=\frac{3.285 \times 10^{23}}{106000000} = 3.099 \times 10^{15} \, kg[/tex]
The scaled down mass of Mercury = 3.099 × 10¹⁵ kg.
