Answer

(a) $= 1.29 \times 10^8~kg$ (b) $= 1.3 \times 10^8 ~m/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) $3.783 \times 10^6~kg + 1.25 \times 10^8 ~kg$ $= 0.03783 \times 10^8~kg + 1.25 \times 10^8 ~kg$ $ = 1.28783 \times 10^8~kg$ $= 1.29 \times 10^8~kg$ (b) $(3.783\times 10^6~m) \div (3.0\times 10^{-2}~s)$ $ = 1.261 \times 10^8 ~m/s$ $= 1.3 \times 10^8 ~m/s$
