1. Identify the decimal point: The decimal point is currently located after the first zero (0.000 000 076).
2. Move the decimal point: Count how many places you need to move the decimal point to the right to get a number between 1 and 10. In this case, you need to move it 8 places to the right to get 7.6.
3. Exponent: The number of places you moved the decimal point becomes the exponent of 10. Since we moved it 8 places to the right, the exponent is -8.
4. Scientific notation: Putting it all together, 0.000 000 076 kg in scientific notation is: 7.6 x 10⁻⁸ kg.
