Question

An object’s average density rho is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume: rho=M/V. The earth’s mass is 5.94×1024kg, and its volume is 1.08×1012km3. What is the earth’s average density?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 5.5 x 10¹² kg/km³

Explanation:

Data

density = rho = X

mass = 5.94 x 10²⁴ kg

volume = 1.08 x 10¹² km³

Process

To solve this problem use the density formula and simplify it to find the result.

Formula

density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Substitution

density = $\frac{5.94 x 10^{24} }{1.08 x 10^{12}}$

Simplification and result

density = 5.5 x 10¹² kg/km³
