Protons and Neutrons account for most of an atoms mass
Answer:
6.86 × 10²⁴ kg
Explanation:
The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V
m = ρV
The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m
Since m = ρV
m = ρ4πr³/3
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have
m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3
m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3
m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3
m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3
m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3
m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg
m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg
m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.
Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.
The solution is C. 12.7 N.
