Does anyone know anything about the program webassign? I can't figure out how to enter scientific notation. For example...if the answer was 1.28*10^-14...it says its wrong when I type it in. then i tried to do it like this- 1.28 E-14 and it says it can't read it? Are there other ways to enter scientific notation.
Or possibly I just did the problem wrong...wanna check my work!?
1-Calculate the force of gravity on a 13 kg mass if it were 6.4 106 m above Earth's surface (that is, if it were 2 Earth radii from Earth's Center.) The mass of Earth is 6 1024 kg.
2-Calculate the force of gravity between Earth and the sun (Sun's mass = 2.0 1030 kg; Earth's mass = 6 1024 kg; average Earth-Sun distance = 1.5 1011 m).
(those are the two problems that i can't figure out how to enter...thanks for your help!!)

I always thought you wrote it like:
1.28e-14
for Webassign.
