Question

A huge meteor has a mass of `3.2*10^12` `g`. If the density of the meteor was `4.2` `g``/``cm^3`, what was the volume of the meteor?

Answer 1

`762000m^3`

Explanation:

Since density is defined as the mass per unit volume, we may calculate the volume from this definition.

`rho=m/V=>V=m/rho`.

`=(3.2xx10^12g)/(4.2g//cm^3)`

`=7.62xx10^11cm^3`

`=762000m^3` in SI units.
