Question

MOON rocks are samples of the moon's crust that were collected and returned to earth by crew members of the various Apollo Thisons. Many of the moon
rocks are made of basalt, a light, volcanic rock with a density
2.7 g/cm. if a moon rock has a mass of 482 g, what is its volume?

Answer 1

Volume of the moon rock is 178.51 cm³

Explanation:

Given:

Density of the moon rock = 2.7 g/cm³

Mass of the moon rock = 482 g

To find the volume of the moon rock = ?

The relationship between Density, Mass and Volume is given by

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume} \\\\Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density} = \frac{482}{2.7} = 178.51\ cm^3$

Volume of the moon rock will be 178.51 cm³
