Step 1: Identify the given values. The radius (r) of the proton is 1.0 * 10^-13 cm and the mass (m) is 1.7 * 10^-24 g. The formula for the volume (V) of a sphere is (4/3)πr^3.
Step 2: Substitute the given radius into the volume formula. This will give you the volume of the proton in cubic centimeters (cm^3).
Step 3: The density (D) of an object is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. The formula for density is D = m/V.
Step 4: Substitute the given mass and the calculated volume into the density formula. This will give you the density of the proton in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3).
Step 5: Make sure to check your units and that they are consistent throughout the problem. The final answer should be in g/cm^3.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Density

Density is defined as mass per unit volume, typically expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). It provides a measure of how much matter is contained in a given volume. To calculate density, one can use the formula: Density = Mass / Volume, which is essential for determining the density of a proton in this context.

Volume of a Sphere

The volume of a sphere is calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the sphere. This formula is crucial for determining the volume of the proton, which is modeled as a sphere for the purpose of this calculation. Understanding how to apply this formula is necessary to find the volume needed for the density calculation.
