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

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

Step-by-step 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 =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Substitution

density =
`(5.94 x 10^(24) )/(1.08 x 10^(12))`

Simplification and result

density = 5.5 x 10¹² kg/km³
