Volume of Common Shapes In Daily Life
Objective: learn how to determine the volume of different shapes in your home and nature.
A. Find the volume of one spherical object at your home such as a ball.
B. Find the volume of the earth assuming you know the radius, google it, and then find the volume of the sun assuming you know the radius (google the radius).
C. How many earths can fit inside the Sun?
D. Assuming you know the mass of the earth, google it, and the volume of the earth that you found in part B, then find the average density of our earth. Density is the Mass/Volume.
• Try to put the items in a table if you can, simply be creative!
• Pease follow the lab format (as you did in lab # 1): title, objective/s, introduction, results and discussion, and conclusion. You may watch my first video on measurements.
• Every lab is due in a week and there is no exception. +400 words
B. Find the volume of Earth assuming you know its radius (which is 6371 km), then find the Volume of Sun assuming you know its radius (which is 695 500 km).
The formula for calculating the Volume Earth is 4/3*π*r^3=1,097,666,867 km^3 while The formula for calculating Volume Sun is 4/3*π*r^3=1,412,000,000 km^ 3 . Therefore Earth's volume equals 1,097 666 867 km^ 3 whereas Sun's Volume equals 1 412 000 000km ^ 3 .
C. How many earths can fit inside sun? Taking into account that one earth’s volume equals 1 097 666 867 km³ while sun’s equals 1 412 000 000km ³ , it follows that there are approximately 1 295 744 earths which can fit inside sun .
D .Assuming you know mass if Earth which google says it’s 5 9722 × 10 24 kg , google also says that its Average Density = 5514 kg / m³ or 5 514 g / cm³ . Since we already know from part B that Volume Earth = 1097666687km ³then if we convert these values into smaller units namely kilograms per cubic meter ,we get an average density value which exceeds by far other densities on table like iron or gold so according to our calculation average density of earth must be equal to 5514kg / m³ or 5 514 g / cm³
Conclusion : Through calculations done in this lab we have determined several answers regarding volumes related questions posed earlier including radii provided both from mothernature like those associated with sun and earth but also some household items like balls out obtaining results such us number off items able to fit within larger ones plus their respective densities when applicable yet always taking care when converting values between metric system system and SI units
