PLEASE HELP: The mass of a ball is 128 g. It has a density of 0.5 g/cm³. What is the volume of the ball? Show your work and place a box around your answer. Optional Bonus point: what is the radius of the ball?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part 1) The volume of the ball is 256 cm³

Part 2) The radius of the ball is 3.94 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The density is equal to divide the mass by the volume

D=m/V

Solve for the volume

The volume is equal to divide the mass by the density

V=m/D

In this problem we have

m=128 g

D=0.5 g/cm³

substitute

V=128/0.5=256 cm³

Part 2) what is the radius of the ball?

we know that

The volume of the sphere (ball) is equal to

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

we have

[tex]V=256\ cm^{3}[/tex]

assume

[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]

substitute and solve for r

[tex]256=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)r^{3}[/tex]

[tex]768=(12.56)r^{3}[/tex]

[tex]r^{3}=768/(12.56)[/tex]

[tex]r=3.94\ cm[/tex]
