The radius of a certain planet is 6.04x10^7 meters, and its mass is 5.19x10^26 kg. Find the density of this planet. (The volume of a sphere is given by (4/3)(pie)(r^3). Answer in units of grams/cm^3

1) Find the volume: V = (4/3)(pi)(r^3)

2) Density = mass/volume

There you go... that's all, 2 steps!

To find the density of the planet, we need to calculate its volume and then divide it by its mass. The formula for the volume of a sphere is given as V = (4/3)πr³, where V is the volume and r is the radius.

1. Calculate the volume:
Given that the radius of the planet is 6.04x10^7 meters, substitute this value into the formula:
V = (4/3)π(6.04x10^7)^3
V ≈ (4/3)π(2.18x10^22)

2. Calculate the density:
Given that the mass of the planet is 5.19x10^26 kg, we need to convert it to grams to match the units of the volume. Since 1 kg equals 1000 grams, the mass in grams is:
Mass = 5.19x10^26 kg * 1000 g/kg

Now, we can calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume:
Density = Mass / Volume

Finally, convert the density to g/cm^3 by dividing it by 1000 to convert grams to kilograms and by (100)^3 to convert meters to centimeters:
Density = Density / (1000 * (100)^3)

Perform these calculations and you will find the density of the planet in units of grams/cm^3.
