The volume of a sphere formula is . Where r is the radius. Units must be consistent.
- If the units for radius are kilometers, what are the units for the volume?
- Solve this formula for r.
- The Moon has a radius of about 1,738 km. What is the volume of the Moon (in scientific notation, using 3 decimal places in the mantissa)? km^3.
- The volume of the Earth is about . What is the radius of the Earth? (assume the Earth is a perfect sphere, which it isn't) (use at least 1 decimal place). km.
- The Earth's radius is times the Moon's radius. (use at least 1 decimal place)
- The Earth's volume is times the Moon's volume.
