Question

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?

Answer 1

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

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

we have

$V=256\ cm^{3}$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute and solve for r

$256=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)r^{3}$

$768=(12.56)r^{3}$

$r^{3}=768/(12.56)$

$r=3.94\ cm$
